I like that the straight photo shows the light, but it's a little static for my current tastes. I cropped it a little unevenly to try to create some tension, but it still wasn't quite there for me. I really needed a priest in an elaborate costume coming out of the door at the end, or one of Kyle's models, or some inflatable ducks, but alas... Still, I try and try again...the beauty of doing a PAW! Thanks for your comments, Aaron Richard S.
