Carole, thank you for the suggestion! I was wondering if to crop or leave the concrete band for added effect. Looks like leaving just a bit is enough. I'm uploading a cropped version, with higher contrast too. Pity it had to be resized down so much to preserve the 150K limit...

Oved, I forgot to comment on this great "looking down" shot! I thought it might make for a little stronger image if it were cropped a little on the bottom and the left side and if the contrast was increased a little with a little more USM. I hope you don't mind my playing around with your shot but since I don't have any really good ones to work on, I thought I'd mess with yours! Here's the link, but if you want, I'll delete it. :-) CJ

Now this really is looking down, and down, and down! Don't lean too far out! Nice shot! ~Sharon
