=========== Actually, we both mentioned it. I said the lightening was a little too harsh and Christine said she'd like less shadow. (Basically I meatn it would look better in softer light, too much light/dark, not that it was blown.) It looks better overall, but it also doesn't work. Because now it looks funny. I am thinking you used lighten shadow on the dark parts, but you overdid it. Look at the bottom shadows behind the wire fence -- they are now splotchy. Look at the branches on the trees, they are now almost haloed (by darker areas). One can only lighten shadows so much. Unfortunately. :-) Good idea, but I feel it needed softer light in the first place to be a little more grabbing. As is (was, originally), a decent pic but not quite up to Jack standards. Which, after all, are pretty darn high. HTH, Marnie aka Doe ;-) --------------------------------------------- We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
