Marnie, I sincerely appreciate your opinions and they'll be considered in any future list remarks..and it definitely is your business. Not arguing, but, whether you read and remember it, in the past I've rarely commented about softness or lack of color. Monitor differences notwithstanding, I take the uploads to be the photographers presentation choice. My suggestions are USUALLY, as said earlier, only about the moment and its composition. The subject PESO was an exception and I have learned, took me awhile, from the experience. I hope it doesn't appear that I'm not allowing for other styles and opinions. If have to be aware that there is insecurity out there and it's up to me to be so aware.
