John, this is oversized at present. Pls compress and resubmit. Thks. -tv

I agree, with all these detailed/cluttered frames its necessary to sacrifice image quality to reduce the file size. But this works really well, theres no negative space, just an overwhelming amount of detail for our eyes to absorb!

Well done John it works really well mate. Don't worry about the full res version looking better as we're all in the same boat.

Good fit of an architectural subject into the topic. The terracing helps allow full frame interest without a distracting illusion of depth. The various shapes and textures provide a well cluttered appearance. -tv

Don't forget the ceiling fan, the stain glass and the church bell. Too bad it was overcast that day.

This needs to be seen in full resolution to be appreciated. The arrangement of every kind of river rock in the area is rather overwhelming. My wife looked at it while we were walking down the river and said "Don't take a picture of that -- its just tacky". I couldn't help it. John
