Gotta point this out to Larry... There is an odd phenom happening
here - on the right side there is a kind of streakiness in the steam
Something I had earlier seen in one of Larry's pics and couldt
describe well ... it has little to do with your photo as a photo -
which I like, but it is something that happens with digital captures
and processing that wouldn't have happened with film... another thing
is, when this happens, what does one do to get rid of it? Am I the
only one seeing the pinkish waves?

Not so sure about this one.  Any thoughts?

thanks, frank
I see what looks like sunlight and shadow streaks through the steam over in 
front of the cyclist.

There appear to be some streaks of wind-blown mist around the woman and what 
may be the shadow of something outside of the frame above and behind her.

I also see what look like fairly heavy jpeg compression artifacts around the 
front of the bicycle frame, the front wheel and where the cyclist's arms extend 
down towards where he's holding the handlebars.

Or perhaps it's some kind of moire pattern from the capture.
I'm not seeing those.  I wonder if perhaps Ann is running into problems from a 
low resolution monitor, or heavy compression for the bit per pixel of her 
monitor or something.  A lot of what she describes sounds like artifacts from 
overly processing jpegs where you end up with a histogram that looks like a 
comb.  Maybe there's some processing in her display system that has a similar 
effect.

I have to agree. I looked closely at this on my two monitors, my 20" iMac LCD and an older Dell IPS display which is my main photo-editing display. FWIW, these are both calibrated with a Spyder3Pro. I can't see any artifacts, especially anything with colour, in either display.

And I think the shot is pretty cool, too. :-)
