Dave, this is over-sized at 154KB, can you bring it down to less than 150KB and repost? Thanks! ~Sharon

I see the stripe pretty clearly but it'd be easy to fix with a little darkening top left.

Thank you for the comments. I did use a polarizer and the sky came out too dark. I lightened it up - may have overdone it.

Perfect perspective, Dave! I don't see the dark blue stripe that Victor mentions in his post on my monitor, just a gradual darkening of the sky from the bottom of the shot to the top. Looks good! ~Sharon

Hmmm. I was going to say that it looks like the picture was taken with a polarizer, which sometimes is not a good idea with a wide lens. The reason is that the greatest polarization occurs when the reflection from the light source is a 90 degree angle. With a wide angle lens you consequently get a strip of dark across the sky that's perpendicular to the rays of the sun. That appears to be what we have here. -- Victor

Great contrasting colors against the sky.
