Very nice crop, Oved! I think this works much better. ~Sharon

Thank you Sharon, Yvonne and Jano! I've uploaded the cropped picture. Yes I took it from the window, at the fourth floor (and I didn't need to stand on a chair to do it, Yvonne :-)

Great exposure on this - I think this type of shot for screams for a closer crop. The background darker foilage is excellent and give this the little extra it needs. Great detail. jano

Beautiful capture of light, could you stand on a chair to get even more looking down? Yvonne

This is the kind of shot that is very hard to get a good exposure for but you did it! I find the most interesting part of this is the fading away of the detail into darkness in the top half of the image. You could probably crop this at the midpoint and just post the top half and still retain the feeling of looking down but end up with a stronger image. Were you looking out a window? ~Sharon
