Thank you RK and Richard for your feedback. I am glad that you liked it. -Cat Lonnit, I agree with you. Its a rare thing to get it correct in the first attempt. Initially, I did not pay attention to the dimension in the original. It was only when I was trying to do the crop you suggested, that I realised that my crop was set to 2x3 by default and if I cropped the top, I was loosing a little from the side too, which I didn't want, so I had to override the preset in my crop tool's dimension just so that I could crop from the top. -Cat

Thanks for letting me know I'm not losing my mind! LOL! Yes, looks excellent - it's ok if we don't get it flawless in-camera. ;) ~ Lonnit

Thanks Lonnit, Yes I did! (upon your advice :) ). The original dimensions were 3x2 as it came out of the camera. Now its marginally less in height. -Cat

Did you crop it? It looks perfect to me now and I could swear it had a bit too much on top before. ~ Lonnit

WICKEDLY great, masterful, and you add to the phrase less is more, my catch phrase for the month. Blue, white and some subtle shading and aligned with the eye of a master and walla. Thankyou Cat Richard Adams

Thanks Mr. Biscuit! I am flattered! Thanks Brent, this is composed in camera, no crop during PP -Cat.

Great image Cat. The crop works well for me. -Brent

Thank you all for your positive feedback. :) Dave, I tried the B&W version; it lacked the punch, so I retained the colored one. Jnconradie, This was taken at Centennial Olympic park, downtown Atlanta. Lonnit, I will try out your suggestion. Thanks for your suggestions everyone!! -Cat

Very nice. I'd like to shave a bit off the top - maybe 1.5x the thickness of the top white bands. Love the simplicity of color. ~ Lonnit

WOW..... Vikas

Stunning picture. I like the combination of the more rigid lines and the curved structure very much. May I ask you to let me/us know where you found such a beautiful structure, please?

Canon DSLR Challenge		10-Apr-2006 14:26
I like this. Is has some quite interesting shades of blue! It picques my interest a lot. Would normally have asked what the B&W version looked like, but the blues are so nice to look at! :-D
