Hey, why take this all so serious??? As agiel said: "- and sometimes, the phase of the moon and direction of the wind" (LOL thanks for the big laugh, Agiel, really needed one) Maybe i am the wrong person to say this .. but really the comments are depending on so many reasons and not only on the image itself. So why take it so serious. We should take this easy .. there are so many more real probelems on earth. Just enjoy the making of the image and if they like it enjoy it even more. That's all :) Myself i am often too tired after work for commenting, sorry for this. I am working all day on the computer and having a lot of troubles at the moment. To this my english is rather bad. And i have problems with criticize an image .. that's something i have to learn .. maybe i am not the only one :) Ok, this was my humble opinion to this :) Many kind greetings Margit
