    @Eric done. I guess the presets moved without me noticing. Thanks ;>
  • Eric Hunt said:
    Yup, it can do that. There is a setting to turn tagging on for all future uploads - make sure you have that turned on and this shouldn't happen again. Thanks!

Man portrait

from Bergen Public Library Norway

  • doublelion said:
    This is a portrait of the Swedish composer Wilhelm Stenhammar [1871-1927]. One of Sweden's greatest composers! Stenhammar composed his wonderful 6 String Quartets, 2 Symphonies, 2 Piano Concertos (of which No.1 of 1893 was part of the 'core repertoire' about 100 years ago, and performed in Berlin [1913] under one of the greatest conductors, Arthur Nikisch and the Berlin Philharmonic!)
