I agree, Dan.  If you have to view my print with a loupe, then I have 
failed as a photographer.  The whole point of my photography is 
communication.  If you can't understand what I am communicating from a 3x5 
print or a reproduction in a magazine or a website as well as you can from 
a 16x20 silver gelatin print, then my photograph is a failure.

Leically,

Tina
