Thanks for the great and informative answers, they help a lot. I think Gabriel and I are on the beginning of the learning curve.
Would it be true to say that if one uses the latest works of other folks what does carry forward is patterns and form and not necessarily color? What I mean by that is halos on falls started to appear sometime after 2000 or so. Now there are some very pronounced halos on the falls of the newer generations. Also, this same effect started to appear on the standards to where now they also are quite pronounced. To me it seems the best way to take advantage of previous efforts.
Brad - You sure do get some very interesting results. Would like to see a few of them reach the market.
Blessings
