Yes that very often happens Howard. Ive had that problem..its a sort of reverse irritant..when you try to make people look good in photos it doesnt work, and when you try to make scruffy things look as scruffy as they are, such as some of the horrific buildings, they come out looking like a work of art!! Grrrr!
Yes indeed time to get the fountain unwrapped and that mosaic thing is 'orrible.
