Thanks for the kind words, Wendy. It is a b&w print. Sometimes, however, when scanning a b&w print, I forget, and scan it in colour. For some reason, some bits of colour show up on small diagonal lines in the scan. I know that's not a very technical description, but maybe that's what happened? I don't know. I thought I scanned this one in b&w, but maybe not. My moniter's starting to go kaput, (no red), so maybe I can't see the colours you refer to. Or maybe it is your moniter, I don't know...
Referring back to your earlier post about how dis-satisfied you were with your scan, let me tell you that I spent at least an hour trying to get this one right, and never did. It's too dark. But, whenever I lightened it, it was too bright, so I had to put up with a too dark scan. The print is much nicer looking than the scan, but I was so frustrated, I thought, "I've invested so much time in this, it's going in, no matter what!" FWIW, I really liked yours. The pensive look of concentration on the boy's face is priceless, although I did, I must admit, prefer the crop that another list-member did for you (sorry, I forget who). You certainly had the seed of a wonderful shot, though. I hope you continue to submit to PUG. It's a great way to get feedback from peers and learn from them - although looking at some of my submissions, I guess I should practice what I preach! <vbg> Thanks again, frank wendy beard wrote: > "Flatiron in the Fog" - Frank Theriault > Looks like a postcard out of the 1920s.
