I find the lighting quite bothersome. Bright background, darkish foreground, the chains to the right of the wheel have bright sunlight on them, the chains to the left are quite in the dark and hard to see. Because of the bright light on the top of the fence rail to the right of the wheel, it gets lost in the background trees. Nope. Sorry, Lehs, this one doesn't do it for me. It happens once in a long while, I guess... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
