Hi Richard; 

I'd say that about 95% of the list are envious of the work you are bringing us. 
It's really nice, from all aspects. 

Just remember that you are the person behind the camera, the person on the 
spot, and what you see and what you envisage, are your unique creation.

I remember one shot of Ansel Adams's that he took in winter on a trip with 
others. It is of a patch of ice on a lake at the foot of a vertical cliff, and 
he 
made a beautiful image of it. His companions, on seeing the image, 
marvelled at it; they had all walked right past the exact same spot and never 
"saw" the image that Ansel did. He not only "saw" it but recorded it.

It is often possible to create images that are a subset of the main image one 
is recording, but, like smart rejoinders one regrets not having the wit to make 
on time in a conversation, one can not always visualise at the same 
moment, every effective sub-set of images in the visualisation your mind is 
working on at the time.

Keep making these fine pictures; it is obviously good for your soul, and I'll 
bet it is a lot more satisfying than what I'm doing just now; sanding badly 
deteriorated house exterior woodwork, filing it, resanding, filling again etc 
and 
painting. And when the sun is on the work the filler is blindingly white.

As you take more shots you will see more possibilities as well.

I look forward with anticipation to your next shot.

Brian
