Jerry,

What YOU believe is an improvement, I may not believe is.  In fact, I may
believe it "ruins" the image.  And, BTW, I have not always been satisfied
with my images...it's taken many years to get where I am.  If something can
be improved, I have no problem with that...but again, what you believe is an
improvement, I may not believe is.

If I believe the image is perfect the way it is, that's MY presentation.  It
may not win the "Jerry's Annual Photo Contest of Whisker Falls", but they
certainly have done very well for me both artistically and commercially.

Though I do typically appreciate constructive criticism, I don't find you're
giving any.  Instead of saying YOU believe I NEED TO MUST ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO
DO CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT IT do "addition work", why not state what about the
image YOU "don't like".  Perhaps it may be something I've overlooked, or
something I don't care about, or something I like...I simply don't know, as
you haven't said...

Austin
