cheers, frank ======= Okay. I think my bar for my own photos and others has been raised. Just from being on this list, mainly. So I wonder sometimes if I should make comments based on my raised bar on list. I've been debating it internally lately. I try to tailor comments to various levels. Encouraging to newbies, a more critical eye to the more experienced, maybe some real niggly details to those who maybe are selling professionally. Like some comments I made recently to Paul. Also, I think some can handle negative feedback better because they are pretty self-assured about their photos. If you're not trying to shhhh me then :-), just give me a swift kick in the pants if I get too critical. And I will continue along on this path... Trouble is I can't always debate what I like and what I am not fond of it with someone else. It's a more visual, visceral reaction than an intellectual one. So I'll preface it with it doesn't work for me because... Marnie aka Doe
