It's pure magic. You can touch his skin it is so beautiful, even in close up viewing! ;-) Honest injun! Even she who must be obeyed, my most severe photo critic with 60 years experince as a what we might call... "On site editing privileges!" :-) Was amazed at the print quality.. I know many of you go through a great deal of extra fixin'. But as I'm sitting here breathing I do as little fiddling as possible. It still all comes down to my absolute KISS life as a photographer. "Keep it simple stupid!" Does it always work? Nope! And I've never said it did, but the more you trust it the less screw-ups you have. Or it seems so. Too bad you can't see it while holding the print in yer hands, you'd be absolutely amazed. cheers, ted
