Composition, lighting, attire ... all first class. :D
Michael wrote:Sat Feb 17, 2018 5:37 pm The composition and lighting, yes. However, my family is not known for elegance in attire. Indeed, our attire is far from elegant! :oops: :oops: :oops:

Science is the light in the darkness, the means by which humanity has gained enormous power and knowledge over the centuries.
By contributing to citizen science, you too can help this great and worthy cause!

Michael - I spotted the globe. Would it help to pinpoint any places that you are stuck with? ;) :mrgreen:

(The truth is: Neither is more important than the other. They're both very valuable!)

"I have fancy statistics and badges!"
