Don,

Thank you verymuch for your comment, I think that I don't really feel happy 
with these photos because I don't feel identified, in my opinion, they don't 
say anything.
True, only by going out you can discover the magic moment, that's what I 
think I should do but you are very right that there comes a time when the 
best use of time is to edit, in my case darkroom (which takes a lot of time) 
is what I'm doing more now. I need time also to look for galleries and 
that's an unattractive commercial job for me!

Thank you very much for your advice

Lluis
