seems to be the problem with mac screens. They're very bright & trick us users to make our pics too dark. I see everything bright and detailed on this pic. It does have lots of black tint, but thats my style :). Please forward me the gamma enhancement where it looks ok for you to tom at studioplum dot be. I'll have a look at it after this weekend. Thank you.

But did you also intend to make it so dark and hard to see that people won't bother to look at it? I am a Ranger so I could put your picture back on, but that is all right.

How would we do that? I'm curious for your enhancement. I honestly see 4 wings, but it demands attention. My intention was to make the 3fold of the leafs harmonic with his wings, so I intended this effect ;)

Tom would you like me to put the better picture on in the second spot?

Definetly a Dragonfly, but his wings are together so they look like two instead of 4 - maybe they are still drying out. I took it off and adjusted the Gamma and it is a beautiful picture. Sorry you can't see it.
