Very nice Larry! In my view, your picture is underrated here – I might have slightly enhanced the contrast, but I appreciate you may have rejected that ‘falsification’. Fwiw, I discovered not long ago that images I had inadvertently taken on ‘Vivid’ setting appeared to me more in accordance with the reality of my recollection than those taken on ‘natural’… In other words, not in any way faked but genuinely more how it appeared to the (or my) senses.
