And, now that Andy and the gnomes have fixed it, I was right (in that my opinion on the full-size picture does indeed include thinking the specular highlights are trouble). I like the choice of focus plane, and I like the rendering of the pit and the rind, and I don't mind the extreme brightness of the directly illuminated area of flesh, and I like the background color and lighting. But the amount of specular highlight, so centrally located, seems to me to rather take over the picture, and I don't think it works. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
