Yes, sorry John, I did realize I was taking your 'good enough' comment
out of context, and should have said so. I was using your post to just
pass a little personal comment of mine about the 'good enough' concept.

As an ex London still life photographer I routinely used to be at the
studio at 9 in the evening, giving some undeserving swine 110% when 105%
would have done. My point is that, actually, 100% is enough.

I think working digitally has shown some of this wrong thinking for what
it is; I've found that, with digital, if it's good enough, it's perfect.
And, just in case I'm misunderstood, it's only good enough if it IS
perfect :-)
