Heh... if only I am so clever :-) I am too simpleminded to scheme things. I 
did darken a little bit already. I am always afraid of "doing too much" in 
Photoshop. The weird thing is, and I suppose this indicates that the 
haze/fog whatever is to the side, the lightest/haziest part is around the 
upper third of the vertical pictures, e.g. right smack in the face area!!!
