    The woman looking right at the camera is the one that jumps out at me the most. However, the real focus of the picture seems to be the book. I wonder what it is. The two ladies on the left are looking intently at it and the one on the far right seems to be saying "Hey, I wanna see, too!" That leads me to believe that the book belongs to the lady looking right at the camera.

    Richard, you made me think. ;-) I think that means the shot was a success! :-D

    I like it very much Richard!! Is the lady with the white hair slightly overexposed?

    Thanks, everyone. I'd also like to know what book it was.

    @Juano: The original shot was not blown, but I must have pushed it a little too hard in post. Her hair was completely white and since it was an overcast day, there wasn't much shadow, so there wasn't a whole lot of detail there. Perhaps I'll rework it. Thx for pointing it out. thumb.gif

    I want to eavesdrop on the conversation. Great capture Richard.

    Ah - I figured out why I like this shot. It reminds me of that great joke that ends, "I thought we agreed not to talk about the children."

    Very nice one, Richard. Did you really not peek to see what the book was?

    Maybe their HS yearbook...

    Center two appear to be sisters. Processing is a bit messy when looking at the two on the left.

    Like this one a lot! Great emotion and really makes me curious about who they are and what they are reading. I like the way the white-haired women's head stands out against the dark bush behind.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. thumb.gif

    I went back and looked at the original shot and noticed some differences between the final processed version and the way it appears on Dgrin/SmugMug. The white-haired woman is brighter on Dgrin--not sure what's up with that, maybe some resizing artifacts? Dunno. I also tried to read the title on the spine of the book--you know, zooming and enhancing like they always do in the movies--but it was hopeless. lol3.gif
