Thanks Geckzilla, the big version came in perfect for my Spanish version of the APOD.
I've looked and looked but I can find no beauty in today's APOD. There is something oddly askew with my sense of aesthetics, and I mean no offence to the photographer and artist who clearly spent much time and effort in creating this image, but I find it untidy and ugly.
Sorry, but I do.
I can clearly see that it's a work of some considerable inspiration and skill but I sadly find myself not liking it.
I would really like this flaw in my taste explained as APOD is my homepage, the first thing I see when I open up any browser and usually thrills me greatly.
When I set up my sister's computers, I always add Firefox and I always set her homepage to APOD. (I also set the IE homepage to APOD, just in case she uses it.) She once thanked me and said it was the most beautiful and moving thing I had ever done to her machine for her. Usually I'd have agreed with her but not today.
Would anyone have any ideas as to why I find this Crater Lake image distasteful?
