I see what you mean. The fall off to the right is a natural feature of the landscape. I liked the way the sun threw the contours into sharp relief, level land and dawn will do it but I prefer afternoon with a slope :-) I shot the version below with the 35mm Summicron but the shadows of the headstones do little or nothing to halt the slide to the right and the overall luminosity of the 90mm** Summicron shot seems to have been diminished by the re-framing and/or lens change. http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/fav_23.html Gallery Index: http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/misc.html - --Graham **Erroneously described as 35mm Summicron in original post. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
