Response to Barbara's not so tall Mike:)

from Glenn Travis (leciaddict@hotmail.com)
I have a hate/love relationship with this photo. Wish the position of the fence and model were reversed. This seems to be the canary in a glided cage icon. Personally, I don't think height matters all that much with a photo. The thing that binds this model and Dixon's model together is how naturally sexy they both are, apparently without even trying, and that they're both confined within space, within a photograph. They just have IT, and both of you are lucky to have these models posing for you. This photo looks cropped, and I don't particurially like the cropping. I feel it weakens the photo. If it is to be cropped, I think the lower rail should go. I'd like to see the hands. Mike Dixon's shot, for instance uses the arms and hands to accentuate the feeling of confinement. Also, I think the top rail is ill placed. It cuts the models face in half in a most unseemly way. The eye is effective, in that the flow of the photo seems to draw me to it. From my point of view, when looking into the face of a beautiful, sexy, young woman, the two things that draw me, are the eye(s) and mouth. Here, we see a little bit of lip showing (weak) below the rail, that distracts me from the strengths of the "Canary in a Gilded Cage."

With much respect for your work, Glenn Travis
