[Leica] IMG: You and me at the top of the world

[silver at well.com (David Silver)]

Peter,

I think the best correction is the crop.  The frame is better filled now, 
and that does enough to eliminate the awkward overly linear feel of the 
original pic.  I think it was the unbalanced verticality of the pic that 
was most disturbing, not the perspective alone.  The simple crop was all 
that was needed to control the glaring perspective issue, and now the pic 
has more meat to it.   Well done.

Best wishes,

David Silver
