No. 13 had a longer exposure, what I need to do now is try a few different colors with it but any of the muted grays seems to work best. All the colors in the world don't help if I don't take a good picture in the first place. What I'm finding out with this thread is that what I like may not be the best for others.

Here is the same exposure with a gray background.
