AgentSmith, I'm also a vanilla american, although years of Spanish class haven't completely worn off. Como esta? I had to laugh at myself the first time I visited Canada and did not get green money from the cash machine. For those of you with English as a second language, it really doesn't show. If it's any consolation, my brother, after years of living in Norway, has trouble remembering English words now. As for giving feedback, sometimes I think a picture could have more of an impact, but I don't know how to tell the artist what would give more impact, so I don't say anything. Other times, I'm not sure what effect/meaning the artist is going for, so I don't feel comfortable giving comments. I can just image the dialog: Me: I think you should brighten up the lighting, the picture seems kind of dark. Artist: It's supposed to convey a feeling of sadness. Me: Oh. What to do, what to do. :) How do you folks have time to look through, let alone comment on the galleries? Even with cable modem, I don't really have time to do more than read through this forum and add my little bits here and there. Lin
