Thanks, Moose. I liked the composition of the Cessna. I cropped out the
aircraft in the shadows to either side.
The splash screen photo was about 6 years ago, on a beach on the north Norfolk
coast, one that has been used many times in films and TV dramas; that day the
cloud had just the right intensity of colour to contrast with the brightness of
the sand.
I agree about the navigation between images. I have a feeling that the latest
version of WP can provide a gallery format which should be much more convenient.
If not, I’ll change away from WP.
