Please keep in mind that Vassili
chooses not to be an editor. Because of that he can only see images at 560 pixels. And he has no way of knowing that the contributor here posted a 2000 pixel image. We just cropped it drastically and it is still bigger than 560. It may very well be that this image is not identifiable even at full magnification. We just don't know the group well enough to be able to say. But when Vassili recommends frassing, he is basing that on only what he sees at 560. We are always hesitant to frass larger images, and he knows this, because we know that he can't see what we see. If you actually think this is unidentifiable, then fine. But remember he didn't even see what's available on the 560 screen now because this is a new cropped image from the one he saw, and the actual image has more detail than this!

 
Sorry...
I should have clicked on the image to be sure...This pic may be identifiable after all. Will move this to the family page in the meantime.
