Frank:  Absolutely!  It's a great photo as is.  My "interesting 
possibilities" remark comes from unbridled enthusiasm to try new things, but 
I can temper that ;-).   Actually, I don't think this thread would have 
started if I hadn't misread Christian's post.  And I apologize for that. 
Moreover, I wrongly attributed his post.  And I apologize for that  too.
Cheers, Christine
