Like a ducky picking up a Chickie by the back of the neck. Then drag down the toe on the left a slight tad to regain your dark tones and you've made your mid section more vertical which means you've improved your Gamma. Your mid tones will separate. De-mud-ified. Nothing that a stiff dose of Gamma globulin's wouldn't fix. The Effect of Gamma globulin's on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.
