Just a side note: Pictures may look very different on different screens
and computers as well as in different programs i.e. a standard image viewer
vs. a photo editing program.
I was just looking at Judy's edits and see that on my laptop, Robert's
image isn't nearly as warm looking as it was on my other computer. Also,
on this computer Robert's image is much darker. The bird and it's feathers
popped from the screen on my other computer. Very interesting!
