Double Trouble by PaulA (aka Sparky2)

Was feeling a little off (sinus and ear infection) when I shot this which I blame for my poor setup and lousy composition. And since we took these to some friends Saturday night my props are gone so I can't shoot it again.

Canon EOS 50D
1/15s f/8.0 at 200.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I also like it. I think what you pointed out are minor imperfections. You can always do the crop, and see whether you can rescue the highlights (barely noticeable). I don't mind the brown bar at all (it's nicely blurred).

I tend to look for the overall impression that an images leaves me with, rather than dwell on any technical flaws. I like the look of this one. It captures my interest, and I think it is well composed (notwithstanding the brown bar at the bottom).

As to the reciprocity of licensing, my reading of the Arizona web site tells me that it is available. Here is the site:

We said it was a keeper, not perfect. LOL.

Re license - you never know until you ask. I have also found that my allergies are greatly reduced when in AZ, but there is some pollen in the spring that does get to me.

Oh man you guys are blind! Too much head room (easy crop) bottom tassel running out of the frame, ugly brown bar on the bottom, blown highlight on left bottle hat.

Another round of antibiotics for me, must have been those pecan trees! In all honesty my allergies symptoms totally disappeared when I visited the Tucson area. I might have to re think this living in Kansas stuff ;~}. I wonder if Arizona reciprocates and accepts the Block & Associates Electrical Contractor license testing. Paul

I agree - it is a keeper.

Well, I quite disagree and don't think that this needs a re-shoot at all. A lovely and fun and inventive image. Traveller
