Glad to do it!? It's only when I've sorted, packed and mailed the prints off that I then sit down with my sets and take a closer look at everyone's prints under the lights I have here for print viewing.? Pulling the prints out of the sleeves and viewing them under good lighting makes such a difference.

I think you will all find many prints to enjoy in this exchange.? As always, there is quite a variety of subjects and scenes, processing styles and choices of papers.? I continue to be amazed at Rick Holmes focus stacked image color prints of the cactus flowers etc.? I think his print this month is my favorite from that series. Nara's choice of a metallic paper for his color photo of the Himalayan Monal created an absolutely stunning print.?

There are so many fine prints in this exchange, I would actually love to see many of my favorites from the past year again n the large print exchange, if that were possible.? Perhaps that is something the large exchange participants could consider: select one of your favorite images printed for the letter/A4 size exchanges in 2022 and print it again for the 13x19/A3 exchange.? Just a thought.? I am already going to do that for one of my Feb/Mar 13x19 prints.

Thanks to everyone who participate and keeps the exchanges going.? Those of us who have been at this for many years, through the ups and downs, know how important YOUR continued participation is to the life of this exchange.
