Thanks, Charles! Steady Stenquist said much the same thing about the crop. He didn't mention rotating it to horizontal, but I bet he was thinking it! ;-) I thought about both of those things, and in fact cropped and straightened it to take a look, before deciding to go back to full frame. To my eye, it just seems more dynamic being slightly off-centre and more-than-slightly off-horizontal. Cropping and rotating made it look boring to my eye. But, maybe that's just me... ;-) Thanks for the comments, and thanks to everyone else who took the time to comment as well! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
