Totally honest and objective Dave!  I have lapses also.  I'll be happy to 
tell you what I think, openly and honestly, and you can tell me.  I wish it 
was this way across the board.

I realize there maybe be a small % of opinions I disagree with generally 
(damn there's ego again).  Often I find weeks or months later I agree with 
those.

There's an image I showed months back, grayscale of trees in fog.  Bill Robb 
suggested a different rendering and displayed it.  I didn't like his 
rendering more than mine. In retrospect, I don't like mine either.  Try as I 
did, I determined it was a well seen image, captured poorly, probably 
impossible to make good. One better not to have shown in the first place. I 
simply failed all around, no reason to think otherwise.

Failure is not bad.  Failure to recognize a failure as a failure is the 
problem.
