Bon jour Philippe, :-)
First let me say, " merci beaucoup for your "true masters on the list" 
comment! Merci! Merci! But  I'm just another photographer who's life was 
given many different opportunities to photograph subjects that many others 
didn't have. It was my good luck, as simple as that.
Quite frankly we have many "Masters" on the list far more than many realize.

Besides Philippe I'm too old to take comments about my pictures badly. And 
by now I've had all the comments good, bad and ugly that could be said about 
my photographs. :-) So never fear to comment because that's how we all learn 
or have our memories jogged to do better.

As soon as you get into saving my images in Adobe RGB I'm at your mercy! 
Because I recognize RGB as letters and something to do with shooting colour. 
But the minute you bring it up as to what I've done or should do with it, 
the best thing is, save your breath simply because I don't have a clue. I 
realize I should, but I've shot and printed some nice photographs without 
knowing what RGB means. So I figure I'm doing something right even if I 
don't know what I'm doing. :-)

However the bottom line on this is, do not ever be afraid to point out 
something that will or should improve my photographs! I'm still learning as 
we all are and will never stop learning.
Thank you.
