These boots

Ted Szukalski

These boots are made for talking
And that’s just what I’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna sell in co-op near you.

Thanks for the info, I also like it. But for the comp I keep looking at her then to the right in the direction she is facing, I have to make myself look at the left of the image. Was there a specific reason you left the empty space behind her?

Ted Szukalski

Yes. A couple of resons. She is very tall and her height defines the frame unless I cut the photo to half frame. Accepting 2x3 aspect I could have included what is in front of her (not very attractive view including many other people) or what is behind her (gothic cathedral door).

Thanks for the info, I figured you had a reason.

imo, the only thing keeping this picture from being excellent is the person behind her. looks as though she has a blue fin on her back. otherwise, it's a great shot.
