Since you're in this photo, I'm assuming it was taken by the photographer? I'd love to know what settings they used :P

Well since you asked, my inquisitive friend, I'll tell you. :)
It's only a very minor issue, but from the way your post reads, I get the impression that you would like to put your views and ideas forward more strongly than I would. In truth, we're probably only differing on the degree, if at all, but when the customer says " jump", I'm very likely to enquire " How high " ? Unless they're suggesting something stupid, or logistically unworkable, I'm unlikely to tell them how it should be done.
One day, I'll tell you the story of a Day Job customer. No matter how much I explained the simplest, easiest, prettiest, strongest way to do a job, she wanted it done differently, in a way which disadvantaged her neighbour aesthetically. As we were doing the job, the neighbour agreed that our way was the only logical way to do it, but he couldn't be bothered to cause ill feeling by complaining over something relatively minor. Nice fella.
