Thanks Alastair and Eric for the comments on my photos.

1) Shot one is of my daughter in the grocery store, the background is a 
meat counter.  I was going for a 'meat is ugly' kind of thing, hence the 
slight greenish cast that I left in, and I was happy with her 
expression.  But, alas, I guess it did not come across, otherwise I 
would not have to explain it!

2) Alastair, you are dead-on with shot two - it is part of a series, but 
it is not really anything yet.  Just testing the waters I guess. I have 
a number of half frame strips that try to tell a story, but it is hard 
to get it just right.

3) Shot three was just a matter of the right film, the right day, and 
the right lens.  I love simple, lucky images like that.  I had a cup of 
coffee in one hand, M6 in the other, looked up and went click.

Thanks again, and I'm glad you liked some of it anyway!
