Taking on-board the comments from Rutt, BD and Richard, I revisited my shots and came up with the following. Still no gang of thieves or ragged child but I did manage a cat !

    Much better for several reasons - First, the compressed view - we don't get lost in the alley; second, the angles formed by the clotheslines and sheets - very nice; third, the cat. (But next time I'd let the cat take about two more steps away from you and toward the clothes lines. rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif )

    Seriously - very nice. And congrats for going back. Keep going and the ragged kids may show up eventually. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    I like it. I always learn so much from others' postings and the C&C received.
    The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer
    ... I'm still peeling potatoes.

    Thanks for the feedback and the encouragement. I'm here to learn and, like Patti, think this forum is providing a great education.
