As From My Window I Sometimes Watch

This is what I would have done (and probably Gene Smith too):

Why are you proving all over again that the manuscrpit is superior to the reading? The wheel exists!

I think your offering is excellently on-tone, but you have seriously misjudged Eugene: he's have used a helluva lot more Farmer's reducer, showing again the inherently better technology of wetness over a dry run.

Maybe, Slobodan, but I doubt it. Problem is the poor thing doesn't have a mother to bathe it.

Russ, I like the photo for the composition. I know some have mentioned that it doesn't work but I think it does- purely for the reason that I can't see a way of doing it otherwise here. The fallen tree on it's own doesn't say anything, it needs some sort of balance as provided by those growing around it. I wish the light was softer though.

Dave mentioned tripods; I fell in love with the Manfrotto 058B a few years ago, lent to me by my friend Harry. For work like this it would be perfect, you could mount a camera and a medium sized SUV on it and it wouldn't flinch. Pity it weighs as much as an SUV too.

Riann, that tripod was to keep Harry grounded - earthed, even, what with all those bare young fillies running around the place.
