If I try to deepen the tone of the entire photo I lose texture in the door quickly. Bringing the door back up then makes the photo look unbelievable to my eyes. I agree with you, making the background less distracting improves the photo. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/smilingjack/grab+bag/Acoma+reworked.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/2a3kgs3 Thanks for looking and commenting Jack afirkin at afirkin.com wrote: >> I have been on extended vacation and am trying to catch up on my paw.
