Agreed, excellent. I'll add that the toning is nicely done. -Michael

This is so cool. Excellent shot. Vikas

From the thumbs, I just thought they were hats. Very cool.

Glad you apologized b/c I would have been really furious if you had had the ability to change it and didn't! LOL! ;) BTW, maybe it's just JPG compression causing it. ~ Lonnit

Thanks for the feedback. I find those "muddy" spots rather mysterious myself and regret that I did not pick it up prior to posting. Possibly some overdone noise reduction? Unfortunately, I am away on business now, without access to the files and software, so I am afraid its going to have to stay "muddy" for the time being. My apologies. ~jnconradie

BTW, it's mostly the rear hat; the front does it only slightly in the 7:00 position, and barely noticably in the 1:30 position (don't bother with the 1:30 though because it really is only noticible there because I'm looking hard for it b/c it's more obvious in the 2nd hat.) ~ Lonnit

I agree, I'd add some contrast while keeping the already white fringes in check. Matt.

Very nice. There's something about the dark areas of the hats that makes them seem a bit muddy. Perhaps it's because of the intense whiteness of the poncho fringes, which, by contrast, makes the hats seem duller and less detailed? ~ Lonnit

Excellent. Matt.
