At least this guy was occupied and not just holding a pose for you.<BR/><BR/>I think you are right about the cigar box being not totally necessary. We need to know what he is concentrating on and the neck shows that very nicely.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-53145384258007479702009-01-20T10:02:00.000+11:002009-01-20T10:02:00.000+11:00Forgot to say: I like your Stranger photos from Fl...<I>Forgot to say: I like your Stranger photos from Flickr on your CDPB and want to do the same. That okay?</I><BR/><BR/>Of course it is! I was going to suggest it once I had the bugs worked out! I actually have a whole dummy strangers blog, but Blogger have banned me from it at the moment. They think it's spam!<BR/><BR/>Now back to Paul. I wanted to take more of a profile (moving camera left and down a bit). That would have got rid of that annoying green blob over his shoulder and reduced some of the background distraction further, but I was also trying to get a different angle to yesterdays!<BR/><BR/>The cigar box is a victim of my obsession with my own "landscape" constraint I'm afraid! I keep asking myself "is it important to the story?" I think there's enough detail in the three strings and rustic fittings for an enthusiast to understand what's going on, and for most does it matter?bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-34239157094603264742009-01-20T09:57:00.000+11:002009-01-20T09:57:00.000+11:00I find Fleur more engaging, this one leaves me a b...I find Fleur more engaging, this one leaves me a bit cold, probably because the concentration gives him quite a severe look.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-29149613865803770822009-01-20T09:52:00.000+11:002009-01-20T09:52:00.000+11:00Forgot to say: I like your Stranger photos from Fl...Forgot to say: I like your Stranger photos from Flickr on your CDPB and want to do the same.

Pulease ... <BR/><BR/>See I find this one so different from yesterday. This is front on; yesterday side. This has quite a busy background that is a bit hard to crop away whereas yesterday's was easier. It is nice that he is concentrating on his music and paying scant attention to you. <BR/><BR/>In both cases, you removed the cigar box! Bit argumentative this morning aren't I. Shall go and have a large mocha and try to kool it a smidge.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
