   (I know!)   ;)  Seriously though, do you think so? My image at the
moment is so different to what I would normally do, but I do wonder...

      Well, to be honest, like I always am, I'm a little perplexed
about the 'zoom-in' side of things. I mean, what if your image shows
the *artistic* side of your mind, and these things show badly in PoV
when zooming in?

Printed out, and read many times...

   I think that was me...  ;)

just produce something that is a good showcase for

    Heh, yeah, I think I'll give that a miss... ;)

   I think this comp will carry on for some time to come. We haven't
quite got into it yet (I think) - like it's a dream or something...
But, this is the way forward, and you/we will see some amazing images
that can possibly push normal* people to the limit...  :)

 *What's that?
