Thanks to Meir Samel for advice previously given and samples of his prized photos featuring contrast and tonality.

Meir, it was of great help in working up this more 'flat' image for final presentation in black and white -- it also helped in preparing the color version, which may be just as good/perhaps even better, and quite different in effect, because in that version the colors are harmonious instead of the black/white with its contrasts, here.

Web posting did not show the contrast, brightness/darkness values of the original workup, so the image has been substituted.

Please refresh your browser to see the re-worked version, provided it has made it through the server that is serving your computer (PN has at least three servers, I recall, and they do not always serve the same version, according to Administration, until they coordinate, at some later time after upload or re-upload).

This photo looks better when viewed larger.  If you want truly to appreciate it, double-click on the photo to view it larger.

I think then it will be more apparent why it's posted.
