It would help if I gave the link: >http://www.flickr.com/photos/billkeshlear/4820106670/sizes/l/in/set-72157624562018734/ For some reason I see something in this version, that I didn't see in the original version, that bothers me: the wedge of sky makes it look like the horizon is badly tilted even though the actual shoreline *is* straight. Perhaps it's because the sky is brighter or perhaps it's because we're simply over-analyzing the photo. I really liked the original in the Shoot-In. Now I'm looking at everything except the pigeons. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
