Gregory In the days when there were many more reviews here each week, especially when we had the likes of Luis, Rand (and even old Lefty) commenting, not giving that info was for me intentional. What I wanted to know was whether OTHERS found something in the images I submitted without me having to lead them there. Having people comment on whether I achieved what I set out to do is a different thing completely. The exception was when I was literally just showing a technique - such as the pin heads on a turntable - where the image was not for artistic comment. But these days I confess I am putting in a little less care in my choice of images: the lack of feedback/dialog on the gallery is part of the circle. Weaker images - weaker discussion --- etc Bob
