Yes thank you I did as we discussed and I also optimized at 72 dpi, as per your advice, instead of much higher. I think I did only very slight sharpening, or none - can't remember...

Hello Gosia,
Thank you for taking time over this image. It was taken at ISO 6400 as it was still very dark long before dawn and so sharpness had to suffer. I do like the result ... it was just me...

Jou waarnemingsvermoë is ongelooflik! Strikkie op die wiel? Waar? En toe sien ek dit ook raak. Miskien sou ek dan ook 'n beter fotograaf gewees het. Lekker naweek.
