Thank you for the kind words Martin. Another LUGger had mentioned off the list that the vehicle in the background detracted a bit from the shot and I agree. As I wrote back to him "I played with it a bit in Paint Shop Pro with the idea of taking the vehicle out, but couldn't get it done to my satisfaction and didn't know if such manipulation would ruin the spirit of the exercise or not and so the only change I did make was to go grey scale and adjust the loss of quality from scanning the print. (Was shot on Portra 160VC and was printed VERY blue.)" What is the general consensus...should something like "One Photo a Week With My Leicas" be about the final image only, using any means necessary or should it be about what one can create in camera with average processing/printing and normal scanning? I'll probably continue to follow the middle ground regardless the consensus, but I am curious. Carpe Luminem, Michael E. Berube
