Everything came together. I would like the portrait just as much if it wasn't for the black area that joins the hat and shoulder on the right. Without that it would be perfect. As for the aquarium shot, In think cropping just to just the boy would make a more intriguing picture - you still would have fish to set the location, but without the girl being awkwardly cut-off. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer, Emeritus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
