[Leica] IMG: Now trying to make photos, not just playing around with a novelty

Philip,

These are nice images. The statue photo is exceptionally sharp. I  
especially like the long span perspective of the Ben Franklin bridge.  
I'd like to see you shoot the skyline again, maybe a little longer  
exposure to bring up the highlights. Looks like you're having a lot  
of fun with that camera. The Optar works.
