Steve > No, not at all. I do not understand your term "over produced?" These images, in the flesh, are stunning. It is because we both are photographers, both have essentially the same equipment, I tend to go for the jugular before viewing the images. As does John. He will always immediately point out what he thinks are the flaws, which get us off track to start with. But in reality, any flaws are so insignificant, they would not be seen even by most photographers. This is not Leica photography. It is LF photography and spending the time necessary to be there when the light is right. Many many many trips over many many many years. Jim
