Douglas,

;-) I like edited_2_001, very much. Peculiarly it isn't very sharp on my 
screen 
(unusual for your pictures) is that the toning or what. Perhaps a bit more 
burning in of the upper quarter of the sky, and cropping out of the swan? 
But 
very FMS.

Must say that when we have discussed toned pictures before, all I have done 
is 
to replace colour and to try and do my best by eye, but have done a good bit 
of 
local brightness or contrast enhancement on the original B&W.

If I may I will have a go at a download of yours and see where I get.

As to not being close; we both know - as should everyone else on the list!! 
- 
how good FMS was at capturing the airs and mists of Whitby and elsewhere. 
Unfortunately - or rather fortunately - the Clean Air Acts have changed all 
that; see particularly The Water Rats and Belle Isle;  - and Health and 
Safety, 
Whitby Council, Yorkshire Social Services, Childline and many others would 
have 
prosecuted FMS to hell had he been trying to shoot the Water Rats in the 
middle 
of Whitby harbour today.

All the best,

Peter
