I didn't get the initial post, so I'm glad that Rob left the url in his reply. I quite like it, but unlike Rob, I was thinking it was a bit dark <g>. I like the pattern of the tall buildings (kind of a diagonal swath across the bottom), I like the green space in the middle to break up the city, and then the low-rise residential area in the background. It all seem rather harmonious to my eye: well seen, well captured. I think the sky is a bit unspectacular, but ya gotta work with what ya gots. Too bad, though, because if the sky was better, it could be a ~real~ good shot imho. BTW, Web Aperture's window is now the proper size (at least for me)! Since I've bitched about their previously mis-sized window enough times, I should give kudos when they're deserved. <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
