Sorry, Ted, you miss a point. Of course too often there is not enough time
to pick details when shooting - but if the resulting printed or scanned
image displays obvious faults, sorry, you've missed your "Moment of life"
(Nathan's pict. 35 case is not the best to invoke.here).  You can't exclude
"analythical things" from any moment of life.  Otherwise you are in for
mediocrity - definitely!
