Bob, Thanks for the review. I can't argue with anything you said about my work this week. But it was interesting to read your entire post. I was so absorbed in the thought that you put into each of your write-ups that I forgot I had an image in the Forum this week until I found my name. That is good writing. Thanks Oh, one more thing. Your image this week gives new meaning to the nickname "Four Eyes." peace and pixels, rand ----- Original Message ----- | > Rand Flory - "Spring at the Never Inn" | > http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/flory.html | | Rand: almost a perfect study - almost. | I like the shoot and the lower half of the background.
