[Leica] Backlight HERB KANNER/LLuis

Ted, Herbert, Jayanand

Thank you very much for looking and thank you very much for your comments, I 
recognize Ted and Jayanand are right ? I?ve missed the perfect composition 
here, but also I?ve made a mistake in the cropping when I was trying avoid 
the lamp on the right, here I?ve posted it with almost the original framing, 
but even so it is not perfect!

Thank you very much again, always we can learn through our mistakes!

Cheers!
Lluis
