Well captured John; it looks like Pegasus is really taking off from the cloud of mist. -mcbit

The Mobil Pegasus used to sit atop the Mobil building and dominate a part of skyline over 30 years ago. I think the building changed hands about 10 years ago and they were going to take this sign but there was an outcry from the city that it is an icon of the city. Thus it remains, very hard to find amongst the tall buildings. On another break from the all-day Photoshop Creativity seminar (Bert Monroy), I was fortunate to see it. But it was a glimmer of red in a sea of gray that caught my attention. Did I mention I love the zoom on the G9 especially when you are only using 8 mp. Only when I put this on a large screen did I notice the reflective "jet" highlights ... how fortuitous that I did not have to clone them out. The Dallas Convention Center is made up of some wierd angles ... I will save these for later. John
