Re: Pic of the week-- from a LEICA!

Mike:
I like your main but wish the redhead's face were sharper. She must have moved on you. There also is a little too much sloping wood birdfeeder roof at the right - composing a little lower and to the left would have made the vendor's sign more central and legible and minimized the booth's awning roof. Great expression on the vendor's face!

The white background walls and subject's white clothing in the alternate leave my eye to wander without an immediate subject.

**Every time I go to 'improve' a marginal shot in Photoslop CS I hear Vincent Versace in my mind's ear telling us photo seminar attendees, "Don't polish a turd!" Then I move on to an image that's good to begin with.

This week a Main and an alternate PAW!! Not my usual 3-5 images.

Taken with a Leica M2, 35 mm Summilux (1960s vintage) on Kodak Vivid Color ISO 160 print film, scanned on an Epson 2450 at 2400 dpi adjusted minimally in Photoshop CS -- I DO love the new shadow/highlight adjustment! I am not so sure about this film tho-- it seems too garish and altho this WAS a high-contrast bright-light situation at at 2 p.m I think the film tended to overcompensate, somehow. If anyone is interested in this film and wants to see more images contact me off list and I'll send you some jpgs.

The PAW is at :
