Tina MY DEAR LADY! :-)

Under the conditions of opinions by the masses & committees some times it 
can merely lead to frantic cries in the night and wilderness! Or a mental 
twisting agony of confusion for the photographer or artist, whichever! :-)

There are times when one must bite the bullet, stand straight and screw the 
world and it's minions and do what your gut is telling you! Your own thing 
in how you feel best about "YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS!" Good, bad or ugly!

It's your baby, you saw, you clicked without thought, other 
than...."SEE...CLICK!"  You didn't ask the masses which they liked and which 
or how you should shoot or not?

Once again........ "Sometimes a C&C is most helpful, absolutely no question! 
Quite simply put... "YOU SAW, YOU CLICKED! GAME OVER, PICTURE TAKEN AS YOU 
WERE MOTIVATED!" Not what 22,000 others may or maynot like or comment on! 
:-)

So your agonizing cries for help in this case have created a truly twisting 
your guts around like a carousel!

So dear Girl stand tall, do your own gut feeling thing! What your insides 
make you feel best and go for it! :-)

See how easy that was? ;-)

cheers,
old doc ted!! ;-)
