<blush> I didn't know I had any artistic integrity to set aside in the first place! >Seriously, it does liven up the shot, and in the right environment it >would certainly work very well. Have you tried to sell a copy to the >bike shop? I'm angling for a deal in which I provide some prints and/or services as partial payment for a bicycle. I want to get a bike this spring so I've got to start scheming :) And since I know the bike shop owner to be a fan of the photographer up the street, I thought this would be a good start <evil grin>. Another odd thing about this shot: I often find it difficult to make a print that lives up the how an image looks on the monitor. In this case just the opposite occurred: The 14 x 20 inch print looks much better than the image on the computer. Perhaps because it's so altered. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
