I may like or dislike something depending on my particular mood, which not surprisingly can vary day to day, and at times even moment to moment. I learned a valuable lesson years ago when I posted an image that I'd color balanced on an old un-calibrated monitor, using the wrong color space for the web, to boot. The responses I got all centered on color correction which I thought missed the point....until I realized that was the only point that really mattered. Finally, there is no tone in e-mail, so things don't always come across the way you plan and it's easy to be misunderstood unless you really couch your prose carefully. I, unfortunately, usually type faster than I think which probably would make me the world's worst critic. I really like the cat photo, though. It nearly put me to sleep.....because the cat looked so darn relaxed. DaveR
