Subject: Re: [Leica] Not quite PAW, but please could you take a look

Thanks to everyone who took a look.  I have adjusted the color as 
suggested.  Any weird colors are purely a matter of my scanning since 
the original slide is fine and the lighting used was daylight.  After 
the comments, I'll probably get some prints made and send them out.

On the second picture from the museum, I agree about the object in the 
foreground.  Unfortunately, there was a large bench between me and the 
subject, so I couldn't really move anything.  I guess I could remove it 
digitally, but I am always loathe to do that.
