Well, here it is - it certainly made ~my~ list, Boris. I hate to be brutal, but I must agree with you - Galia did indeed outdo you! ;-) Yours is a beautiful "conventional" (if you will) photograph, well composed with vibrant colours. Galia's is a real "in-your-face", unusual but very effective photograph. It's also beautiful, but she shows real imagination and artistic intent. As for any differences between the two in terms or colour or anything else that might be attributable to the cameras, well, on the internet they're not discernable. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
