Yeah.. I see what you mean. And if you take out too much you loose the entire effect. That's where a large LCD would be great. It would help around here, can't get away from poles. Thanks
Interesting that you obserbved this Tom. I tried the crop on the left pole, and somehow it left the picture very static looking or bland...so you are very right on, on this to me. The one on the right could do without, but then the base of it sort of repeats itself in the tanks and creates some kind of relationship, I think between them. I might try doing a slight perspective correction and straighten the left one up a little, without removing it, just to see what it looks like. Thanks a lot. Water was pretty noisy that day, quite a few feet above normal, and very, very strong current. Wouldn't have taken much to Dam this whole palace up...like I said to Toni...kind of ironic 'cause of this town's name.

Barri, I like this shot. The fencing pulls you right in and even, the cloud position helps complete the circle. If you'd shot it with the sun from the other side it would have been broken by highlighting the oppisite side of the canal. Well seen composition in a crowded situation. I'm not too sure about the right pole being cropped, but can't see that it adds with the lighting as is. But the left with it's tilt needs to stay. Cool shot, I'd love to have stood there and clicked it.
That is absolutely funny on more than one level. First I went up to Beaver Dam to take pictures of a flood they were having, like a 1 in 100 year occurence. This is the river that was flooding, and if it would have gotten much higher, or if anything large would've washed downstream, this plant indeed would have acted like a dam.
