Some pretty subtle distinctions there, Your Mooseness. My old eyes  
couldn't quite make out some of them, but I seemed to be partial to 4  
and 9, though I must add that fiddling with that level of subtlety  
would drive me someplace out beyond the back of distraction.  I've  
actually come to the conclusion that complex foliage is the devil's  
own to get just right, even in a large print, never mind reduced for  
web viewing. And lord knows there's a whole damn lot of foliage here  
in Occupied Canada. Maybe one needs a Hasselblad and some good black  
and white film and wet darkroom prints to get foliage just right. I'm  
thinking about using Vaseline on my lenses when taking leaf pictures  
this year. <g>
