Hi, Kostas,

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my photograph.  Yup, I was at the
demo, as a participant.  That was back in my days as a radical.  Then I
realized that there will be no revolution, and if there is one, it will
inevitably fail.  But here I am, going off on a tangent.

As I said in another post, some months I just 'know" what's going to work.
No thought as to what I want to submit.  Other months, I dither, I can't
decide what I want to put in, and at the last minute I throw something in
that usually just doesn't quite work.  This was one of those months.

At the time I submitted it, for some reason, I thought it was a winner.  I
was wrong. <g>

That's why I like people doing critiques, though.  I'm gradually learning
that taking photographs is only a small part of this endeavor.  Choosing what
to show is just as important.

thanks again,
frank
