Hi Henk, you see, after a short conversation I?m, now , understanding you , much better.I never took you wrong, just did not follow your thinking process, in this case , your ideas.But ever give you the chance to be right.Yes, your point is right.I agree with you. Now let me tell why I ask you about your place.From my own statistics , a young man, or a boy, in California,student of photography, has his mind full of rules and look at a picture ,not to find there Art, but to do a check list of all the rules.Nine out of ten , do this.Your first comment fit this pattern.After you gave me your reasons, I understood you.If you permit a single opinion from a much older lover of photography, look as much as possible to pictures of recognised masters,like Cartier-Bresson, Sebastião Salgado and others with work already published in books.To have pictures in magazines is not enough. If I know the editor, easy to have a picture of mine in the mag. But to publish a book it is need a name, work done, class.They are the best to teach you, as I?m trying, all my life, to learn.Comments in sites are not useful as one can imagine.Take a photo and follow opinions and at the end you do not know if it is good or bad, as opinions are that wide. Thanks very much for your attention and you ability to exchange opinions.This is a great asset... Regards jorge

Excellent picture,of a storm in way of arriving.Very good. Now , on "my place" could you be more specific on your chaotic comment about the edges? By the way did you notice that outside and inside light metering and focus are right? Did you sugest I must set everything in range, my objects and everything I use,like in pose for the portrait.That?s why I beg you to be more specific, if you don?t mind. Regards jorge
