Well, thanks ... but as was pointed out in another message, it doesn't tell the whole story that I think Frank was trying to convey (F and I were talking off list). However, I did another fiddle last night that I sent to Frank directly as it was late and I was tired and cranky, and didn't feel like uploading it. In that one I brought down the tone of the horn player's sweater (which, IMO, was a real distraction), cropped the shot tightly but kept the guitar player in the frame, got rid of the background distraction, and fiddled with the skin tomes. It was a crummy Photoshop job - real quick just to get a sense of what was possible and to share an idea or two with Frank.
