Thanks for looking, Don.

As for the workshop, yes, one always gets some insights from people like 
Trevor. Part of the reason I participated was that landscape is not 
something I do a whole lot, and it is nice to expand one's horizon a 
bit. I have previously been a couple of workshops led by Trevor (he has 
a long-time association with the Viewfinders photo club in Brussels, of 
which I am still a member) and people like Charlie Waite. This 
particular workshop was hampered a bit by an uninteresting location (we 
met at a building on the campus of Delft Technical University, in a 
rather drab industrial park) and bad weather. But overall, it was a 
weekend well spent.
