Sh!t yes! Get a copy of Photoshop or something else that allows color spaces to

I agree that this month's PUG is one of the best ever. FWIW, my personal favorites
are:
" Framed In Ice " by Mark Cassino: Very effective shot; one can almost feel the cold
wind! I especially like the
contrasting shapes and colors.
" The Driver Walked Away " by Byron Butler: Great action
A very good PUG this month. Here are the ones that subjectively struck me.
" Cabbage Trees, Haast River, NZ " by Linda McKie
Interesting shot. Love the isolation and the paleness makes it feel more
"art" than photography.

Well, first thanks to Gianfranco and Shel for their kind comments on my pic.
This month the gallery is as great as always and I will say my favourites:
"Grace, 1968" by Shel, strong, sensitive image, great light and just enough

"Heaven in Hell's Lake..." by Philippe, very moody and
" Hairway to Steven " by Bucky.
Great composition with a little flaw. I would have left out the white frame
that peeps out from the left, under the banister.
