As it is, that emotion is lost. >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Tea-Time/SNOW This one is "nice" but not great, IMHO. The composition is good but there is no tension or action or interaction. Again, my humble opinion. >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Tea-Time/SnowTea Most people don't like fuzzy pictures. I actually do, depending on the pictures. I would rate this the 2nd best of the group. If the fuzziness is just a tad less, I think it would be stronger. >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Tea-Time/Waiting This one suffers from the same problem with hotncold. If we can see this person's face from the other side! >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Tea-Time/NAILS. I think this works because it is unexpected. She has a good hand with no blemish to distract. A slight shift to the left to capture more of her face may work better. The pole being tilted adds some tension. My humblest opinions. I wish my best efforts is as good as your worst ones!!! // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
