I went back and looked at the negs of this woman and i noticed something interesting that I had not realized before, in a reply to another post I said that the woman seemed to be in a trance alternating between agony and ecstasy. On revisiting the negs I noticed when she was in agony (the main) her fist was tightly clenched and her face contorted, then when she was in ecstasy (the alternate) her face relaxed and so did her outstretched hand with her fingers splayed. I thought that to be interesting as she was having a very emotional experience, as were all of the other people here. I took more than a roll of just this woman (the main is with 35/1.4 and the alternate is 50/1.4 on a second body). sl > > Steve LeHuray wrote: > >> The main and alternate are similiar because I could not make up my mind >> which i liked best: >> >> http://www.streetphoto.net/paw35.html >> >> The complete PAW is at: >> >> http://www.streetphoto.net/frames.html >> >> Comments always welcome. >> >> sl > > --
