After seeing some comments WRT my PAW from yesterday, I decided to <gasp> crop it a bit to get the boy off centre. I also dodged mom's face just a teeny bit (but not too much, I don't think). I resisted the urge to sharpen the boy's face - or should I say that I tried, but it looked overdone to my eyes, and I preferred it as is. I also decided not to straighten it, as the window frames of the building in the background are indeed horizontal, so in fact the bus is going up hill. This is therefore an accurate depiction of the tilt (or rather the lack thereof).
With all that in mind, comments on the new and hopefully improved version are appreciated: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3407217&size=lg As a point of comparision, here's the original full-frame version: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3403901&size=lg Again, thanks to those who look and comment. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
