OK, in changing pictures around I totally screwed up & deleted all your comments, SORRY
The original pic (my preference) is in Pending, along with the comments.
Rod, I think this one has some of that 'tention' your after lately.

Canon PowerShot A710IS
1/1000s f/4.8 at 34.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks all, just glad you were interested enough to comment, liking it is even better though.

It is a fascinating and always difficult choice which crop to use. I usually try at least two or three, usually narrowing the choise down to the best impact. This certainly works well, but even the original worked for me. It's nice to have choices. -tv

Well done Tom this does work better for the topic & looks really good mate.

Interesting set of overlapping patterns there, Tom. I'm not sure which I like best, but I guess this one is best for the Challenge topic. Good eye and well shot picy. Cheers, -mikey

aam1234, your comments ended up in Pending with the other pic. Oops, sorry. Also, you are cracking me up with the Steve Jobs thing. Not heard that before, if only I had his job & money! I do tend to go for Apple products.

This crop makes this much more artisitic. Great job and eye. jano

I much prefer this tighter crop. It adds emphasis to the patterns. -COAmature

CJ, I duplicated the adjustments from the one in Pending & applied here. I agree, this is better color.

This does seem to be more about patterns but I do like the tones in the other picture and it seemed sharper and more contrasty - that could easily be changed in this picture Tom. CJ

CJ, thanks for letting me know about the pictures.
