See if your highlights make it to the end of the histogram. If not, using the upper slider, move the white point to the spot where the histogram hits baseline. Then, using the lower slider, clip the white point to about 248 to 250. Use your eye and judgement. Next, using the upper slider, set

Yeah those little pipe clear figures fascinated me.. and if you saw exactly where they were hung it would even be more interesting... I figured they were made by one of the guys working construction. Have to confess I'm not sure I -would- "love" the Basquiat.  I think it's good stuff,

I also think that Ken's photo is gorgeous. And, in my mind, it also goes into "reflections" and "silhouettes" categories. (While one can find shadows upon careful look, the focus is on the two features I mentioned.) When I was looking at the gallery for the first time, yesterday, - by the
