Lecturing someone on their 'style' of explaining something is the last refuge
of the man with nothing to say and a profound need to feel important. If you
had a valid criticism of what I had said (that is, you disagreed with my
reasons for composing that photo the way I did), you wouldn't have had to
attack me personally. You'd have talked about the photo.
Nothing I said to Moose was offensive. I explained why I made that photograph
the way I did , in the same direct style that I always use to explain things. I
understand what he was saying. If I just wanted a good photo of the cat, a
closer crop would have worked well. That wasn't my purpose, though, as I
plainly stated.

I considered replying off-list, but decided against it, Chris.
That was an arrogant reply, assuming that I had anything to learn from your
style of photography.
And you could learn from the way others reply to different sorts of post on
the List.
