i have never spoken here   i am not a photographer, though i use photography    i am a painter, printer etc      trust YOUR instinct and what you think is good    this 
discussion and others get bogged down in technical things    the final criteria is your own judgement   and all of ours differ     LOOK  and feel and judge   JUST 
YOU     i printed a landscape i took with my Dimage 7 on my Epson 900 and on epson 3000    with my naked myopic eye i can see the 3000 is sharper and better but 
the 900 is the better aesthetic thing    so just keep what YOU like in the forefront   (for all those experts who will crucify me, i have taught art and been an artist for 
many years, i had two very prestigious foundation grants   i STILL SAY trust your own instincts and what you think is best   and know that it will not agree with 
everyone and sometimes not with anyone    the ticket is the enjoying of seeing and the feeling    we are not in this for the money, even if we need it   have fun wuth it) 

and, oh i forgot, there IS NO PERFECT!   so why not just live it    jno
