    Re: A Discussion In Paris

    Is it hard to hold that thing steady?
    This is a cool catch and you were alert to the possibility as you must always be.
    I'm not sure about the right and left sides ...the off mirror parts..but then I don't know about cropping either. Maybe the right side?
    Your reflection within the composition adds to the 'life' of the photo.
    One of my favs of yours.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: A Discussion In Paris

    A wonderful self portrait of sorts showing you in action taking a photo of a discussion in Paris. I understand Frogs concern with the non0reflective side areas and if i crop them out w have a cleaner image, but I somehow appreciate the "reality" shown in the edges and it makes for a more intriguing and interesting scene. either way it will work
    Fantastic
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Amazing work. I would leave it as is. I think the edges of the glass help to frame the shot and adds to the mystery of the reflection.

    Re: A Discussion In Paris

    This is a very busy shot, but I like the way the busy-ness is arranged. The busy-ness of it makes the shot very abstract and even surreal to me, as usual I love your meticulously perfect attention to lines and shapes in this. I looked for a nitpick but couldn't find one. Great work.

    But when do you ever plan on doing some color?

    Very original and dynamic photo. A feast for speculation.

    Very interesting and if I may say compilcated Tuna and I enjoy the mayhem and conflict amongst all the reflections of reflections, at least one of which seems to be double. You skillfully ensured that the tower is squeezed in nicely between the uprights of the ... I'm getting confused now!
    Your rigid upright stance is also matched interestingly with the rigid perpendicular of the tower.
    I need to view this again when I am about half way through my nightly intake of the red stuff.
    Great fun and you did well to frame it all the way you did.

    Great shot of boring (secondary) subject! This is interesting and keeps my eyes busy, as usual.
