One of the consistent characteristics of pictures you have posted, including the recent TMZ examples of your son and daughter, have an agreeable or better range of mid tones bracketed by whites and blacks. This latest example misses that, at least in its representation on my screen. It looks flat, almost like a surveillance camera image. To my eye it needs more snap (whatever that is). bill h ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Ridings" <daniel.ridings@edd.uio.no> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Cc: <mugers@yahoogroups.com>; <paw@micapeak.com>; <rolleiusers@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 10:28 AM Subject: [Leica] PAW 7 dlridings > This is probably one of the last jam sessions for a PAW, but on Sat.
