Quite frankly it's one or the other, a damn fine photograph illustrating excellent use of the light and some damn fine body language reading of her expression and capturing the precise moment. I don't have any doubt if this photograph were part of a paying assignment Don might have taken a few minutes longer and burnt down the screen. But given it's for the crew to have a quick look and forget it, I hardly think it's worth the time to bother fiddling and farting about with darkening the screen. I realize it's your opinion but quite frankly not worth mentioning when the photograph works so well. ted
