I see what you mean about the rust photo. It's my favourite of this lot, as well, for the very reasons you mentioned -- its simplicity and geometry. I'm beginning to think that those are my strengths as a photographer (if indeed I have any): geometry and simplicity.
No worries, I shall turn to the dark side, eventually. With yourself, ladder7 (who recently provided me with a very useful step-by-step instruction) and maggieroofus (who has begun posting handy tutorials) as shining examples and willing teachers, I'll be converted to layers before you know it. I hope I'll able to do everything I need in just one or two extra layers, though, as I really can't see myself producing nine-layered photos. I have neither the time nor the patience for that. Or the inclination, for that matter.
As for the curves thing, well, I'm awfully bad at keeping secrets, as all my real-life friends will confirm, but even *I* believe that some secrets are best kept under wraps. :-)
Good luck with whatever it is that's keeping you busy. I'm sure you must have some catching-up to do at work, after all the time you've spent with Christina...
