I have a print of a near-identical photo (taken on neg film) which my partner cropped tight and put into a square frame. With this one, I like the stalk bud on the right so I'd be hesitant to crop it by much. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

I must say, the 3D effect is quite awesome. It really makes you look and look.

that's really quite disconcerting it's so 3D.
