    #1 is a miss, I'm afraid. #2 has some interesting lines, but doesn't quite come together for me--it's the sort of shot I usually like and I'm not sure what the problem is. Too many lines maybe? Dunno. Love #3--great composition. If it were mine, I'd give it more black. #4 is fun.

    So I agree with Richard - delete # 1. Two comes close, but misses for me because of the jumble behind the guy's head, which distracts from the otherwise nice composition and shadows. Three is fun. Four is an IF ONLY...If only you'd shot it as a vertical and cropped a bit - the Typhoon sign and the umbrella are wonderful!

    But did you check their birth certificates? Long form? rolleyes1.gifrofl

    Really like #3. I like the happy expressions on the workers and the little "A" grading on the wall.
    Where did you take these?

    Also, love all the grain.

    Hey Folks

    Ok let's see if I got this right

    #1 - Just pretend you never saw it :D
    #2 - find it (light/shadow) again and redo
    #3 - keeper but Richard you know I set Wh/Blk point on every image it may be that
    I shot thru glass but yes I do prefer richer blks.
    #4 - Ah gee thanks B.D., now ya tell me :lol

    Lynn,

    All these were shot in and around L.A. on mainly the westside of Town.
    The Burger Joint is near "Pico/Westwood" corner and just a couple miles south of UCLA
