It had the incidental effect of making the houses less prominent. The houses being where some folks noticed the tilted image. I personally prefer the original angle as far as the shape of the tree-line. Thanks for your suggestions and opinions guys, always a lot to learn. I will put up a third version, in case any one has the stamina or interest to look. This thread my 15 seconds of LUG fame.

They asked you to darken the houses so you look at the clouds more? I hope you continue to leave the orignal in. And I hope you take this new one out. The pattern the houses made was a perfect compliment the pattern the clouds made. It was like I said before - a perfect photo. Now its been trashed. Don't listen to them!!!! The clouds are not that interesting without the houses. Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
