Hi Frank, It's just that "glow" that I find so enticing. Perhaps a scosh less might be an improvement, but as it is, it lends an ethereal and diaphanous quality to the photo, moving it away from the more typical photo and giving the image a sense, or feel, beyond the subject matter and composition. I'm sure that'll sound like "artsy fartsy double-talk" to some people, but that's how the photo works for me.
