These images are technical gems... but it is easy to see why you tend to focus on the technical details...I believe that is so because the photographer focussed on the technical details, even to the detiment of the image/the content itself. Sorry to say, many of these pictures are very pretty, but are over "produced", weakening the power of the image, in my opinion. Is that your conclusion as well Jim , or do I misinterpret. ? Steve
