Just curious. > Hey, Gianfranco, Thanks! Glad you liked it! It was just a fun shot, but I think that came through on the print (if I might be allowed a moment of immodesty <g>). WRT the contrast, well, these days on PS, I just hit "auto levels", and that's about it. When I try to do more than that, I tend to screw things up more. <g> However, in this case, I don't think the print is very contrasty to begin with. Taken with an old, bad Vivitar screwmount zoom that I think I bought for about $50US brand new, I've long since gotten rid of it. Most of my recent photos that I've shown have been with the Leica CL/40mm Summicron C, which I find nicely contrasty, so maybe you've noticed a difference between the bad Vivitar and the Summicron. Thanks again for looking and commenting. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
