I like this as well. Very nice. It conveys the soft imagery that the title suggests. The tilt is just wide-angle distortion. The horizon appears to be correct based on the degree of tilt at each side of center, so it doesn't bother me. In fact, it might enahnce it. It would be easy to correct the distortion in PhotoShop with the perspective tool, but it might not even be a plus. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thanks, Shel, > This has only been wet printed and I guess I'm used to the bit of extra > grain associated with the slightly darker scene and, possibly for that > reason, don't like it as well sharper/brighter.
