That helped me solve a mystery, the meaning of the name of a very interesting 
Ice Cream store:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/magazine/04icecream-t.html

With Humphry Slocombe, Godby continued pressing food buttons, beginning with 
the name, which is aggressively obtuse. (Mr. Humphries and Mrs. Slocombe were 
characters on the bawdy old British sitcom “Are You Being Served?” Godby 
insists that if Alice Waters could name her Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse, 
after a highbrow French film, he could name his ice cream store after a lowbrow 
British farce.) Godby’s ice cream can be alienating, too. When I first took my 
kids, they ordered Salted Licorice, took three licks and then threw their cones 
on the sidewalk. This is a familiar San Francisco parents’ tale.

Aaargh! No, no, no! It's "I am unanimous in that".

"We are unanimous" isn't funny at all. It's the sort of mistake that makes

Re: PESO -- Cliché. II

[Paul Sorenson]

I'd have to be in agreement with BobS, Bruce and Jack.  This one seems 
cleaner and the whites are whiter.  The first looked a bit too yellow n 
my calibrated monitor.  I don't mine the shadows - they still have some 
detail in them and look fairly natural to me.

Re: PESO -- Cliché. II

[Bruce Walker]

I agree with Bob. But the shadows suggest this was taken in fairly 
strong light that I find still too harsh for my taste. I'd have 
interposed a diffuser to soften the light more.


I'm mindful of your purposeful cliche-ification of the subject, but 
flowers in very soft light is also a serious cliche so you'd still 
accomplish your goal! :-)

Didn't save the first one (sorry), but these whites seem cleaner..as I recall. 
Also, the exposure is a bit hot in spots.
