I didn't see that at first.<<<<<<<<<< Hi Sonny, The mystery is solved! :-) I bet nearly everybody missed her! :-) But everything else get's in the way and it's a woneder you even picked her up on the screen. But then that's why it's always so important not to edit quickly and delete to quickly. We've always used a "3 time look over" in editing. 1st cut: the without question garbage goes... you know it's out no doubt -- out of focus, blured etc. 2nd cut: Closer tighter look at the images and those that just leave you cold go into an "OUT box" 3rd cut: Now it's taking in every single little thing possible that is wrong! Or potentially wrong. any thing in here that doesn't make it goes into the OUT BOX and maybe filed for later of collection material. But I sure didn't look at this photo three times as in editing. But the two in the middle were so strong I assumed it was a play on words and these two "soldiers." :-) Once you see her then she becomes such a strong point you do almost automatically see her. Actually this is a very interesting image for teaching photo students on the value of editing very carefully! cheers, ted
