Hi John, That's really interesting (from a non-religious perspective of course). From a composition perspective what I guess I would have done had I shot the same scene would have been to step back a fraction and try to get a little elevation so that the crosses in the distance were more prevalent in the frame. Of course I've no idea how difficult it would have been to do this but there's always a way :-) Technically the image is tending to blue, I expect that you were likely shooting under a cloudy sky? Without warming this makes the image a little less intense, the reds are no where near as saturated as they could be and the whites of the crosses are just begging to be white again. Also (you will hear more from others about this) but the image when compressed well should only be between about 75-100kb for those pixels dimensions. I hope you don't mind but I've turned this into a WOW as I've taken the liberty to re-work your image (colour and saturation wise) to give you an idea of what I mean (and yes I've gone a little overboard), the crosses could be brightened a bit too. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/crosses.jpg Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
