My remark was not about skill at all, tv (I do neither consider myself to be especially skilled nor do I pretend to be an artist, but would just be pleased if I could become a good artisan of photography). No, this is just about that utterly boring sempiternal argument about sigs, repeating the very same opinions again and again and again and again (and, for some reason, inciting from time to time the most vulgar amongst us to trying to insult where nobody had asked them to state their views on anything not related to photography; I say *trying* because that intruding comment below shows once more how true the Spanish adage is: "Not the one who *wants* to offend offends, only the one who *can*!") -- db.

DB, it is very clear that you have much more technical skill than I, and I don't pretend to be in any way someone to learn from. I'm only offering a simple, objective viewer's opinion that may give you thought about the sig. Even Monet wouldn't put it gloriously floating up in the sky to draw attention from the image. The image itself is so good that to imprint your advertisement on it seems a bit demeaning to your audience. -tv

What an interesting comment, tv; what an admirable talent for image analysis! And what an opportunity for me to learn photography from you!! -- db.

Can't deny you do some nice work, but the sig is really not well placed in this one. -tv
