[Leica] IMG: Playing At The Point

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

I'm just a bit curious and hoping folks will chime in.
I find the first shot in this series to be my favorite:

Can?any/everyone explain why this one doesn't really grab/appeal? I'd really 
learn from your input, so many thanks,
Bob

It's the light that makes it too, don't be too demanding - you know the 
potential, I saw the result, and found it much to my taste, so no 
regrets, no worry :-)
