There are too many to comment on individually, but I particularly liked the shot of Erwin at the BENELUG meeting and the two drunken Norwegians sawing a dead animal in half. On the negative side, in the portrait of your father his right eye is completely covered up by the glare from reflected sunlight in his glasses. You should have repositioned him and/or yourself to avoid that. It has a disturbing effect on the picture. Nathan Arne Helme wrote: > Hi all, > > I just added PAW #9 to my web site.
