Sometimes you get a shot that you know should be good, but then when you see it
you know it will always be a favorite. For me this one did that. The conversion
to B&W was trivial and the PS work minor to highlight a few subtle points, I hope
you enjoy it. In the original you can read yesterday's PaD at the bottom of the
large pillar. Thanks Yves for the advice on the 17-55 this lens is really a killer.

I've also added a series of shots from the Shuttle Endeavor launch in the Merritt Island Gallery:
