I'll try to find them.<BR/><BR/>It's probably not worth arguing about, the point isn't to win the Archibald after all, it's to learn and improve, and this is a lovely shot. Shame about the music stand though!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-18194039968622650402009-04-02T22:29:00.000+11:002009-04-02T22:29:00.000+11:00Read all those comments, Joan.

I asked Google and came across this <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/groups/123portraits/discuss/72157594368011911/" REL="nofollow">flickr stream</A> discussing the topic.
