I feel defeated? Very bizarre, Jack. I have nothing at stake here, other than honest appraisal. I was telling the world I disagree, not just you. The image is correctly rendered as presented, IMO. But it’s not important. I have far more critical things to worry about. I feel defeated by cancer and medical bills, but certainly not by your opinion of a photograph.
No more of this for me. Don’t have much time to play these days but thought I’d take a brief break from lurking and working and comment on a few images. Sorry if that offends you.
