> Dan Mitchell - The Interrogation http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/mitchell.html I sometimes wonder if there are two Dan Mitchell's posting imaes to the gallery. Some, like this, I really take to: they are clearly photographer's pictures. Others, sorry Dan, I see as little more than local snapshots. On this, I do like the simplicity: I do like the mystery (guessing it is a chair within a gallery fo staff to sit on?). Something I'm not sure about is some visual disturbance on the right edge: it looks like gaussian blur has been applied to remove a distracting notice board. At least, that's my guess. Is it so? I would have preferred - marginally - a different crop. http://website.lineone.net/~wildimages/PF/mitchell-2.jpg Was the board removed digitally? Was it even a board? Does the lens have flare? there is light bleed from the white room to the green door). Who chose the red and yellow carpet? Was it gaussian blur? I'm not now so sure. Looking at the bas-relief version http://website.lineone.net/~wildimages/PF/mitchell-3.jpg > Alan Zinn - What more can I say: a quality panorama. It could just as easily be a motor show in the UK, except for THAT flag. I mean, not the stars and stripes but the Union Jack that "should" replace it in any translation. It always srtikes me how often the national flag appears in the bckground in the US while in the UK we hardly ever see ours. So much so that if I see it I notice. This though is an example of a good use of the panoramic format. Where are the thirds? Who gives a stuff. There are three cars, does that count? One minor comment: for the trouble you took to get this shot could you not have asked permission to move the sign temporarily while you took it? It's the only blot on an otherwise harmonious image - as seen through my eyes ... or should I say, as seen projected withing my head, where ultimately the whole would lives ;o) Bob
