Right on Steve mon ami. And do remember you are not alone in this kind of 
"see-shoot-situation" in the OR and it didn't work out in print! Photo life 
is like that as you well know.

If I had a dollar for every frame I've shot in the OR's of North America and 
Russia and they didn't turn out for exactly the reason you say, quite 
frankly I'd be a very rich, 'er photographer. ;-)

I mean those beautiful photographs of doctors and nurses in the OR in our 
book "Women in Medicine" produced thousands of frames that at the moment of 
shooting looked really cool. But in the final look on the contact proof 
sheets they didn't cut it! No matter what we thought at the time of 
exposure.
Life is like that!
