Wow, Jochen, this is so much better! And I thought the first one was pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to reshoot it, I think it was worth it, don't you agree? ~Sharon
elips, Thanks a lot for your constructive comment. Of course you are right. For v1 I tried a 100 mm lens which I had purchased recently but space in front of the outlets is tight so I wasn't perpendicular to the subject. For v2 I have used my 50 mm lens which allowed me to move close enough for correct orientation. Shot in RAW this time, cropped (leaving a small shadow on the left) and PS-sharpened. Ignore the EXIF data, PBase doesn't update them if an image is replaced. Jochen
Iotatau, this becomes a very nice abstract! Great idea! Could you have shot it from straight on? The slight tilt is a little distracting. If you do reshoot, an even crop all the way around would frame it nicely. Good work! ~Sharon
