Oh, yes, I agree and understand. This was just a "quick and dirty" edit in PhotoShop to see whether it can be improved to a presentable image. When I have more time -- and I am not distracted by watching the Men's NCAA basketball tournament on TV at the same time -- I will go back to the original image file and start all over again. I just needed first to see whether it will be worth putting in the time and effort.
