My two favs are http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK7s2013/JamaicaScorew.jpg.html (which finely sums up the spirit of the game) and http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK7s2013/CookMexw.jpg.html (for the guy peering underneath) All of them are worth viewing LARGE in any case - well, if you don't fear that one of them might get at you popping out of the screen :-) Esther is a marvellous Lady Howard, wearing a smile and giving a nice pat after her second half has just bought a superlative lens ... ;-) Keep the good work coming.
