Bill, this image was taken near the mouth of the Presque Isle River as it empties into Lake Superior. It's in the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park, just west of Ontonagon, Michigan. With the right light you could shoot a bunch of film there. Ken Waller - Original Message - From: William D.

Ken, Where is this? Somewhere in the U.P.? I've not seen the area, and it looks to be an interesting place to visit.

Hi Luis, Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment. About the border... well, I scanned the shot and that's how it came up, I liked the results and submitted it as you have seen. There is no attempt of connoting it in a way or another. I usually print my B&W shots full frame, leaving a little black border (more little than the one on the actual shot) just to let understand that I used the entire frame, but it's more a aesthetic matter than a philosophical one...

Re: Last - moment October PUG Comments: Arthur, Osojnik, Poe... and others
Thanks Luis for the kind comment. I don't think as well that the current crop is the perfect for this one. I wanted more see on the bottom to emphasize the vast of endless sea but went for this one because of the poor scan which was really bad on the bottom of the photograph. My main problem was not the quality of the scan but the fact that at the shop they've started to charge a lot for the BMP scans (5$ for one). So it was a JPG and when resized and resaved, the JPG artefacts start to ruin it immensely. However, just today I found a new service which sholud be able to do the job for alittle more than a dollar. I look forward to see how it will turn out.
