Again, thanks to all who took the time to look comment. Seems this one either needs more PP'ing, or I have to go back and have another crack at it sometime. Given that this was taken on a scouting trip, I know which way I'm leaning. Cheers, Dave On Dec 3, 2007 2:26 PM, Boris Liberman [EMAIL

Always good to reply to yourself. It is interesting to note that several have commented on the foreground being murky. On my monitor it is dark, but just fine - no murkiness - I can see the details. Now my monitor is calibrated and I don't know about any others. It is not uncommon for some
