(high key vignettes) >>>whenever I see a "noticeable" high key vignette my mind asks, "what aesthetic purpose does this serve?"<<< George, I did not mean to sound offended in my previous post. I'm aware that you have enjoyed and appreciated the work, as you have stated several times. You are correct to notice/mention that "Groomers" is a departure from the series. I've been playing with various techniques of late, and probably should have been more clear. Please do not hesitate to critique as you see fit...your keen attention to detail is greatly appreciated on my end, at least!
