Dear Don,

Thanks for looking at them, and I am glad that you found one to like. 
Putting up photos is a problem as they often appear a definative, when
often they represent work in progress.  The feed back from others
often helps my own opinion on individual pictures mature, which is
useful.  Perhaps at the end one should go back and re-edit, but it all
takes time and effort.
