As so often, bottles, your kind comment makes me nearly blush but seems somewhat exaggerated to me. Many of my images *look* properly exposed because I do not hesitate to use Photoshop's _Image>Adjustment>Shadow/Highlight_ command. When shooting, I try to expose for the highlights (avoiding to burn them) and if, therefore, I lose detail in the shadows I try to recover them with the feature mentioned above's "Shadow"-slider (within a reasonable limit in order to maintain a natural look of the photograph, of course). That's all! Thanks *very* much for commenting! -- db.

I agree with Dale about the excellent exposure. Doesn't surprise me though, I've always regarded you as a master of proper exposure (your many beautiful night shots testify to that fact). Actually, I like all of your entries but this one is my favorite. An exceptional image and just perfect for the challenge Daniel!

One more nice compliment by you, Dale: Thank you very much! -- db.

Not only is this an beautifully symmetrical shot but an excellant exposure considering the harsh light through the ceiling and dark shadows below. Dale

A beautiful glass ceiling - and a beautiful shot.

Perfectly symmetrical shot. A very sharp eyes to notice this blades...

Excellent perspective here -- I particularly like the tunnel made by the struts lined up.
