[Leica] IMG: Murillo's

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

I agree with everything you say; however, when I took these 7000 photos, I
was taking them for the ultimate purpose of fund-raising so that was my
editing process at the time I pressed the shutter.  Now I have a different
purpose so I'm trying to look at them through a different editing filter to
see what else might be there.  The photos were successful for 30 years of
fund-raising so I'm fairly confident about that first edit.  Now I'm in
uncharted territory for me.  ;-)
