I surreptitiously shot a couple of snaps of my mother while home. She HATES having her photo taken!

Very well done. It is a heartfelt creation that draws you into the the moment where it evokes a flood of memories and emotions.

Very nice...
She looks like a strong woman who doesn't put up with a lot of nonsense...
Which begs the question; how she was able to put up with
you?

Interesting. In the original post, I only saw the back of her. When I hit reply, The whole thing showed.
I do a lot of shooting from the hip, for pix. The shot you get when people see the camera pointing at them is never a natural shot.
People seeing their candid shot will complain their hair is not ready, but it was as ready as I saw.

Just hold down CTRL and spin your mouse wheel to see the whole thing - the picture zooms in (bad) and out (good)

it s great with the whole thing too, I knew that she was watching her programs....
it really looked good when she was at the far right of the shot, and you couldn t see what she was looking at. kinda surreptitious. left you wondering what she was looking at, or thinking.
endurance.

I use the Firefox browser but I thought they all had that feature.
Or maybe you're using Windows 3.1 and Netscape?

How about an 'open image in new tab' option? That works, too.

Nope - I can save a picture, email picture or print picture. There's a Show Picture but that's faded out to indicate it's unclickable.

It must have something to do with your mouse having a scroll wheel. It gives you a different way of doing things because it doesn't give you the right way to do things...

That could be - my mouse says "scroll, you!"

My mouse says that too sometimes, but the right-clicker still says--among other less useful things--"Open image in new tab". (I'm using Chrome.)

Maybe...
Well, actually, I wouldn't know; I've never had a conversation with your mouse.

It's a pocket mouse - voice usually muffled
