Geoff,
I look at your pictures, though I rarely comment.

But then, I post at least one shot a week, and up to ten, and probably get
maybe two comments, if that.

I vacillate between wanting feedback, and getting put off by the constant
suggestion that I render a colorful shot to monochrome. (When I did, I got
exactly three comments, and that was a shameless attempt to try to emulate
Lluis.)
