[Leica] ***SPAM*** Re: Tina's softness/sharpness/focus issue - might be solved, in part

Do we see your best pictures or are you sure of them and only post the ones you are unsure of? 

I moved from PESO to PAW as I had some images which were quite good (IMO) but did not stand up on their own, if I post a PAW of say 12 then the better images tend to be commented on...

Also, in the last week - since last Sunday, I have posted 13 photos on the LUG.  You have posted 70.  Is the difference that you are sharing and I am asking for help?

I asked before about posting them one at a time or saving them up and posting a group.  The opinions seemed to be divided equally - some wanted one at at time, others preferred a group so I didn't change anything.
Maybe I should.
