I think that maybe Leigh and I's argument may be about splitting hairs.

To me this works because the legs are held together, and thus making an invincible line down... (difficult to explain)

Had the legs been apart she would look as if she was standing on her (amputated) knees...

This is a beautiful composition!

Thanks! But the only thing I feel I'm master of is trial and error! Here is another of Kelsey...

Gorgeous plate Ed.
Having said that, your images always have that certain edge that makes them unique. IMHO.

A perfect homage to spring. Well done, Ed.

Many thanks, Leigh. I was surprised by how dark the sunflowers rendered. To rather nice effect here, although a regrettable loss of detail.

Here is an example of something I thought couldn't be done. This kind of tone and detail from Arista EDU 100 film (Fomapan 100). I came across a recipe for Pyrocat-MC at 1:2:100 and it works great (1:1:100 was blah).
