Thanks, Marnie. The foreground is actually planks that lead diagonally into the buildings (an artistic thing, I was hoping). They show up well on both of my monitors, but may not on yours. Rick --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6641058size=lg

Rick, I'm a sucker for these shots, but your original was too dark. Dave's version brings out the pleasing aspects of the original image. ...This means I have more learning to do with post processing... :-( Regards, Bob S. On Nov 15, 2007 9:22 AM, David Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like the

Rick, this is really good. For some strange reason it looks to me like a scene from a Doom-like game. The foreground specifically makes me think so. Don't take that too seriously, 'cause this is my warped mind talking here. This is really a very fine photograph. Boris Rick Womer wrote:

Would be a much stronger image without all the blank foreground. Crop just below the lowest lights see for yourself. Kenneth Waller http://www.tinyurl.com/272u2f - Original Message - From: Rick Womer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 10:08 PM Subject: PESO: Seattle

Hello Rick, Tough shot. Seems more like a pano type crop is needed. The foreground really doesn't help - just a big brown section. I think I would take a lot off the bottom and a bit off the top. The exposure on the buildings looks nice. -- Bruce Wednesday, November 14, 2007, 7:08:56 PM,
