David,

I think the people on this forum understand and appreciate the points you're
making about your "real" print versus a browser-displayed digital image *of
*that print.

But none-the-less, that is the standard for on-line display of your work.
(If you've no chance of sex with a real woman, the blow-up doll can give you
a first approximation....however inaccurate it may turn out to be.)

Best,
ddj
