Hi

I just read the following expression. Do you find it OK? I mean, isn't pictorial redundant here?

"Pictorial glimpses of the meeting"

Hi Tom,

This expression could be considered a bit OTT (over the top) but on the other hand I don't find it unpleasing. After all 'glimpses' can be of various kinds like: 'obscure' 'enlightening' 'superb' and so on and so on.

hi

I think in the phrase it is also implied that glimpses is not a full recording of the said meeting, or also that you as a viewer are not spying or staring. Not too OTT, just refering to the lack of full coverage.
