The one copy I opened - the other one is for a friend whose mother was  
recently dignosed with the disease - looks fine to me.

Of course, a printed photo is not what you see on screen but I'd say  
the rendition is much better than expected from a remote printer  
without going through proofs.
Unless it was deliberate on your part, I think the sharpness may have  
suffered a little, which in turn brings a sweeter, less clinical and  
more humane touch to the portraits, a plus IMHO even though some  
purists might disagree.

I haven't seen any typos - who's that frog who would tell ;-) -  maybe  
the fonts used for the three texts could have been similar to the  
first one - I mean size. Well it doesn't matter; the message does. And  
texts and the photographs convey it so beautifully.

Some Luggers had asked about the square format - it is I think very  
efficiently used - I remember the original takes; you were right to  
crop.

I still can't pick up a favourite BTW, as Ted would ask, does this one  
photo rank among your ten best ever? Well Steve, they all do :-)

So, this is my humble honest report.
Thanks again
Amiti?s
Philippe
