I'll get told off

Neither daughter nor wife like this shot ("I think you enjoy taking bad pictures of me") but I like it so here it is:

Pentax Spotmatic, 105mm preset Takumar; FP4+ on Foma 133, home brew thiourea tone.

Posed portraits are really not my thing, I know.  Not sure what my thing is, exactly, mind you.

    I wish I knew what my thing is as well. Maybe I'll find it someday.
    The photo looks good to me, but perhaps there's something in it that escapes male perception.

      I think you are right about the male perception - girls are more critical of their appearance than us blokes.

      Your thing: composition! Cuts across all genres.

    Composition, yes. That might be my thing. Arranging scenes in a pleasing way is a kind of puzzle that I enjoy trying to solve.
