Do you ever make cds for the model (or parents in this case) of all the rejects?
Jean,

I have a different attitude regarding my rejects. I place their ashes in a lead lined container, weld it shut, and drop it in a Florida sink hole. I make a big effort to only show the very best of my efforts. Your sentiments regarding whether they were "rejects" or "your best work" never travel with the work. The viewer will make the worst assumptions.

The following extreme close up was cropped from the following raw image. This is amazing to me. From a jpeg created with 500 ISO. And this is after knocking it down to 400 x 485 for forum use.

I'm pretty sure I could not have gotten this done using my best ISO 400 film.
