Thanks again for letting us look at them. Oh, one comment on something which sort of bugs my eye, don't know if it bothers anyone else: when I was looking at that picture, I started wondering if I had grease on my glasses or something, there was just an odd softness to the edges of the schoolhouse. Then I clicked to look at the fullsize version -- no such problem. But I noticed that the fullsize version, presumably what you upload from which the main image is made, was 700 pixels on the long edge. That's different from, but maybe not different *enough* from, the 640 pixels it needs to be scaled to for the main display image -- so there are scaling artifacts and the scaled version doesn't have the snap of the original. If you uploaded originals 640 pixels on the long axis, no scaling would need to be done, and we'd see the pictures as you'd created them -- or, if you went to, say, an even doubling at 1280 pixels, the automatic gallery scaling would operate cleanly. Please excuse me for presuming to tell you stuff like this, but your pictures are great -- I'd like them to look their best. -Jeff
