To dta: Purple
Dear Denis
Thank you very much for the kind comment. I think the 'purple haze' in the background is due to the sensitivity of Ektachrome to ultraviolet (the photo was taken at about 12 noon)....

To Coolka: Critique. . .
Dear Joanna
Why should I care about the other critiques (or lack of them) when one of my photographs has managed to move someone.
Thank you so much.

To macondo: 'Brown sauce'
Hi Andrew, as I mentioned the other day, I will never buy another laptop from the company that is more famous as a purveyor of brown sauce in the UK!

To Angshu: Fz-5
Hi Angshu
I had a lot of success with the FZ-5. Many of the 'old' images I have posted here were taken with it. Indeed, I had a far higher success rate with that camera than any I have owned...

Dear Ann,
Thank you for taking the criticism so well. The reason some of us lost faith in TE in years past was that it had become a place where 'dark green smilies' were traded between friends...

Indeed, it would be interesting to see a Canon version to compare. But the thing I really noticed about the D200 was its keenness towards a yellow cast. It's not so obvious here with the Asian skin...

That is a very kind comment, Carlos.
As I wrote in the Note, it took me some 15 minutes to achieve this composition, during which time Odd Job was watching me very carefully. . .

Wow, what a compliment, Cristina! That is too kind of you! ;)
