Hi Frank ... I appreciate the feedback. Others have commented that they liked the first version better, as you may have read. That the photo can take several different crops is, perhaps, a good thing. IAC, I like working on different interpretations of photos ... there's often something more or different that can be found, especially after the passage of some time ... in this case 35+ years <LOL>
