[Leica] Last days at the beach and burning issue

[vintagebill at verizon.net (bill harting)]

Sorry folks. I've had this problem with some links, too. To see the 
featureless sky, try:

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Shutter-to-think/album343/Cloudless.jpg.html

and the next several images. The girl is the last image in my 2006 folder.

As for burning in the white object next to the girl with hat, I actually 
did clone a bit of the object for the picture I posted, a practice I 
don't usually engage in, but decided to leave most of it there: I have 
submitted the actual (silver) print, with the entire object, to a local 
art show... maybe it will be accepted, maybe not. As I was cloning it I 
did think of the Reuters fellow who did the clumsy job of enhancing his 
image and so I stopped when the object began to resemble roiling clouds 
of smoke (that last is a joke, but I never wanted a career as a retoucher).

Thank you all for your comments, very helpful.
