Ted,

For me, that's the interesting thing about the LUG: different -and  
honest- opinions and tastes make it into that wonderfull place where  
those that post images can choose between the different offered  
options/opinions.
Because in the end, it's their decision.
I agree with your cropping suggestion, but it is a classical one. And  
'classical' is one of the many flavors available these days.

I'd be very happy to show what I meant when talking about 'some color  
work needed' if I had the image in a bit larger size: this one is  
just too small to make my point.

All the best,
Philippe
