Thank you Rich for your help and for that link, I'm beginning to get the picture as it were.
Thanks also to Bill, I have no objection to you adjusting my pictures at any time
and my thanks to Raynerj1 I liked the effect of the stained glass also your rose image.

Hi Rich and Norman!

Rich, I was afraid I would insult you and step on your toes by tinkering with your picture. I am glad you liked what I did. I didn't have a clean picture of the full shot, so had to recut your picture.

The biggest hurdle I had with composing shots is getting rushed and only looking at the focal point and not what is around it. Once I looked at the entire frame, getting it composed got a bit better.

Norman, My name is John Rayner and I used to post here more regularly than most of the moderators. I was a bad boy and pissed off the moderators, one to many times, and got my tail banned. Between my logins I have somwhere close to 5K posts. Most where OT and the humor too off color... which got me in trouble. I am trying to be a good boy now.

Hello John, I'm glad to see you here.
Eventhough it's been a long time and I myself barely post here anymore, it's still good to meet people who've known.

Hello Availor!

Long time no see. I did observe a drop in posting during my absence. Mostly filled by Norman...
