[Leica] PAW 6

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

Well I'll "have a go". I like Alt2: the distressed nature of the world 
around Hannah and the peace of her reverie are a great contrast in b/w. 
Alt 1 is too messy for me: nice setting -- the glasses look too good to 
put up at a cooking class, hope they survived ;-) As for the portrait, 
I find it very hard to make a good image of someone talking: usually 
like here the face seems "strained". The expression of the hands is 
very good, and the tight composition appeals, but the background 
"interferes" a bit and draws my eye from the "action".

Cheers
