BUT - The photo does not have anything to do with the Mona Lisa. I know, that's what they were looking at. You know that. They know that. No one who looks at the photo knows that. Now to me, the photo stands on its own,speaks for itself, needs no introduction. ;-) But if you wanted us to know that that was a photo of people looking at Moana, you needed to either get a piece of Moana (cQ) in the photo, get a "This Way To La Mona Lisa" sign in the photo, or something similar. All of which leads me to make a suggestion - NO MORE PAW CAPTIONS. Let's let the photos stand on their own. Let everyone judge them for what they show, not what the shooter thinks they show. Any takers? B.

Alt 1 & 3 would be my choices for this week. #1 might be improved with only the two people leaving and not the smaller folks in the BG. #3 just seems to fill the space well although it gives me an awkward feeling...maybe it's the statue getting ready to pee on the patrons ;) And on the captions again. Maybe it they type of captions you put on the photos. Most have humor to them even if the photo doesn't show that same humor. This may detract from the photos for the simple reason they don't relate...just a thought. - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
