Light is free… capturing it is not!
I would never purposely antagonise anyone, anytime… it's not
my way — when I'm on the ice with all the gear and the puck,
it is another thing all together.
However, the forum puts "for display or critique"… very diffe-
rent things and it is weird, IMO, to see them together. There
are members I would not criticise but "db" is a capable very
shooter and I am sure that, may I be right or wrong, he un-
derstands my comment and mature enough to discuss it with
the typical down under "cool-dudeness".
My problem is not politeness but the mastery of the language.
There are so many ways to say something and sometime I do
not use the best one. Again, a matter of honesty & good faith.

In the full 16-bit .psd version for printing , the "split" (while noticeable) is more subtle in that area , but unfortunately this forum does not accept .psd format images .
But I appreciate all comments .
db getting into all the techie stuff is going even further over my head
But I have learned a bit about CP, wide angle lenses, and skies from this discussion.
