I love his subtle smile and the way you can really only see his face, arms and hands, and the fire. All else is dark, unimportant. Beautiful story! #10218501David Resnikoff July 08, 2012

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
