[Leica] more from Yosemite, image redone

[Aram Langhans]

Hmm.  I do like the square, but Dr. Ted said to make it a horizontal, so I
did.  I'll go back to the Rollei days and try a square, too.  As far as the
vignette, I might play with less than you did.

Fine!

I'd be tempted by a square Aram

and even by some added vignetting
