Ted, your insight is greatly appreciated. So, I don't take it personally. As 
long as the critiques are constructive. And yours are.

When I photograph I do it from an emotional state. I look around and think 
there could be something interesting. Than I observe it, look through the 
finder and release the shutter. That's it. No message. I don't try to send 
messages, for that I use email or other means. 

And I agree with you that the picture is pseudo art. A bad copy of whatever 
image. Must have been in my subconscious. Funny is that you first had to 
tell me. I did not see it for myself. I guess that is why I post images to 
the LUG. That someone pushes my nose into it.


Thanks Ted, I appreciate it.


Happy Holidays,

Rudy
