Thanks Nathan. One of the things I think I'm learning is *really* how 
important the final "printing" steps are to a successful result.  In 
particular, Douglas Sharp's "printing" of my Aldeburgh fort scene was a real 
eye-opener.  

I've paid more attention to the printing process in my most recent postings 
and the shots are getting a more positive reaction.  

Regards, 

Dick
