Wow! That reads like a poem! This is a new trend on PDML. First, it was personalized PESOs. Now, - it is writing poems in response to PESOs...

Re: PESO or waste?
To my eye, due to the nature of the image, the overblown highlights give it a sheen that I find appealing. The hand and its shadow, however, hold it back considerably. Really too bad.

Re: PESO or waste?
It has a Weegee look to it. Just darken it a bit and use slightly less contrast. Not much but blown highlights sometimes come with the territory. Igor Roshchin wrote: Hello!
