Ken (and whomever else)... Tell me what you think of this one:
http://www.members.aol.com/figgaro/convict2.jpg I tweaked the contrast and played with the color balance (adding red, minus green). I don't like the way the cloud on top is a little blown out.

To me it's not as moody, but then for some, it may be more so. -Brendan --- Brendan MacRae <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok.
