Debated plunging back into the fray, but decided not. First, I don't know enough to keep arguing. Two, I made most of my points already. Three, the discussion has petered out anyway. Read everyone's comments, and I see the other side -- as much as I can. Think I kept arguing in the first because of your comments. >The problem with color is that IF you are photographing something to show what it >means, the colors that also show in the picture are random.
