					<description>Hi ElderElderBob.  Thanks for your comment.  I didn't perceive the picture in the same way as you.  Which makes for a great point - because the message in images is infered and based on the viewers perception people can have different responses to an image based on their culture and past experiences. 

It's good to have several people review pages on your website and give you feedback.</description>

					<description>I notice that your opening pix contains individuals with body language saying &quot;I'm not too open to you&quot;. Notice the crossed arms tightly clutching an object. Pictures need to be very carefully selected. There are no voices to be heard, nor words to be read until after the pix is viewed.</description>
