Dear Bob,

I agree with you. I tried to collect as much as information as possible but
I realized I didn´t agree with the majority. So finally I decided to do
what I though it was the best. Even my father (he used to be a very
talented photographer) told me the other day, I think is not the same
picture you showed me before and I replied to him, dad I didn´t do
anything, it´s the same picture. It´s impossible to understand how people
gives his/her opinion and this makes me feel even more indecisive.
I really appreciate your suggestions and ideas by heart.

David
