Nice one, Paul! Only nit to pick is that it could use a bit of "punch" on my monitor; it really could be a bit more "contrasty". OTOH, my monitor (or more accurately, my housemate's monitor) is set to low contrast, so maybe it's only me (and her). I do like the shot a great deal, though. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
