Typical stuff is pleasing, of course, but I am trying hard to be not so "typical". And, I think you can achieve greatness by going outside of what is expected. By the way, this same NG staffer liked 2 of the shots of mine where the person was looking out of the frame with hardly any space left in front of them. The rest of my stuff was apparently "typical". So, as I said, it is so subjective. Leslie Spurlock Leslie Scott Photography and Tours http://www.lesliescottphotography.com http://www.lesliescottphotography.com/phototours.htm lscottpht@aol.com
