[Leica] 2005 PAW Week 1

[jefferys at gmail.com (Jeffery Smith)]

First of all, thanks for taking on the PAW challenge for 2005. I have
you on my links page, but with no geographic location as of yet.

I like this shot, but two things jumped out at me, the first of which
is because it always plagues my images. The horizon *seems* to be
tilted to the left, but it may be an optical illusion or a crappy
monitor. I didn't take the time to download it and put it in a program
with grids. :-)

The second is that the print looks like it was "puckered" a bit when
scanned, so there are vertical darkened ghosts on the print.

The fog, the quiet sea, the subdued light all work well. I cannot tell
if those are two rocks, or two islands. But it would look great on my
living room wall.
