My wife is my toughest editor and generally correct. However not always! :-) 
But she can be ruthless as a sharp knife with her cutting remarks when I try 
to argue with her. Particularly when I stand back, breath deep look 
carefully listening to her words when she's being ruthless! And she is 
right! After all she started me into photography 61 years ago after we were 
married!  ;-)

cheers,
ted

Hi Ted, mon ami

First at all thank you for your fast and kind response, of course the
Editors look for the same thing my wife says "it's too dark", I say
"Of course, it was dark", maybe I have a good potential vEditor vision
at home and I didn't know!.

Your comments are absolutely right and I would work more on the 7378
the week end. It is really true what you about digital, there is no
risk, nothing!

Thank you very much again for your always kind help!

Cheers & Saludos cordiales
Lluis
