Commentary: These perfectly squared off benches fascinate me in the way they stand off from the surrounding environment, almost as if they,. like the monolith in 2001, were some perfect alien artifact, created by an advanced civilization, to educate the monkeys.

The focus on this wasn't exactly correct. I was trying to hit the middle of the bench but somehow hit the far edge. So in the full size image the closest side is a bit soft. It doesn't show through so much when sized for the web but it's still a bit noticeable.

For what amounts to about the cheapest long lens solution available, this little mirror is surprisingly sharp when you do everything right, though it does need a bit of a contrast boost. I only had to clone out one circular highlight to keep it's true nature from being obvious.

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a 
lengthly search.
