mamabobbijo, I am having trouble finding your images..the search says some are in atmosphere/mood and one other place. Will you IM me and give a link or two?

I do appreciate your comment on the photo put up by Dave/Punaguy. ( I cannot speak for him..not my place at all. This is all from "me".)  Too often we do tend to look at photos from the photog's perspective and not that of others. That is understandable.  The shot is of worthy nature as you have pointed out.  And....beleive me, to have a comment like yours from someone not directly in the photography direction is good, indeed.  Makes me think a bit more.

  To receive comment or criticism from artistic folks is much better to me than from the general public.  Then, we take it for what it is worth.  Thanks for sounding in on this thread.

Tom.
