To my eye and *on my screen*, this looks much better now, Car629. Nevertheless: please see my last comment on my «QueensboroBridge» picture in Exhibition. I hope I didn't wrongly generalize something that is true only for the type or size of screen like the one I use! ~ db.

This image has an intriguing property to me, Car629. I'm not sure at all which version I like better; they are different, yes, but equally good (IMO). I'd, though, enter a version that fits a normal computer screen in its "original" size: that might give this picture a—technical, of course, not artistic—quality boost... Just my 2¢. ~ db.

Great image. Reminds me of an airplane coming in for a landing. - Ken

I wouldn't crop. It is nicely balanced as it is.

Yes I did have fun Traveller, it is a photograph of city lights taken on a 5 sec exposure and zooming out at the same time. This is the first time I have tried this effect and I was really quite pleased with it.

Jim I was actually standing on a hill so quite high up but I cropped it down to give the feeling of almost being on the ground.

Now that I look at it I am wondering if I should crop some of the left-hand side, what do you say guys?

Gads, someone is having fun! Since I've done this quite a bit myself, I thought that you were driving....but maybe not....Zooming on city lights? What is this? Best Wishes, Traveller

Now this is very interesting and intriguing. 5 sec - I'm trying to figure out exactly what you caught here. Camera looks v low, but ??
Well done.
