In this case it seemed to work opposite of what you state above. All three photos were much different than the other and deliberately so and probably could stand on their own, yet they were often subjectively compared to one another, which of course is a human trait that is almost unavoidable. (I'm not complaining, BTW.) Feedback good, bad, or indifferent can be enlightening. Even the Common Ground photo which did not have quite the appeal to some, I think could be saleable in some format, as I see similar images being marketed commercially. It's all very subjective. One man's treasure is another man's junk and vice-versa. Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
