Hi Frank your are one of the (lucky?) photographers where the content of the shots usually out weights the technical shortcomings. Still a PDML collection for a good scanner would be a good idea ;-) I like the enlarged crop a lot more than the first photo. But, honestly, after reading from a "Porno" from Zurich and a "Ninja", do you have a spicy "bike messenger name" too Frank? (vbg) greetings Markus
