You are, of course, correct... So, in addition to the Realist, I had the
elements of nature cooperating :-) because there is no rivalry in this pair
(other than the ripples and reflections in the water...)  But it will take
at least 2X enlargement (maybe 3X) to make a good slide out of this picture.
Good thing I was using "grainless" Kodachrome 25 :-)

Also, Paul, a little bit of rivalry can be better tolerated in projection
and this is going to be a projection slide...

>What type of clouds were in the sky, George?  

What do you mean?  Clouds are clouds, right? :-)  

I don't know... They were light (not dense), rather high in the sky and
seemingly far away from me, only by the setting sun.  This is Greece in the
summer... Sunny and cloudless sky is the norm.  I did not even notice their
existence, not to mention their movement.

But I have taken pictures of "fluffy summer clouds" in the USA from a
moving car and found the resulting retinal rivalry, disturbing... So, as
Paul suggests, your mileage will vary in sequential shots of clouds from
the ground.
