I like your original view better than your flipped one or the highly cropped ones. I think taking out the poles, like Glen did, strenghtens it. I like the 3 painted stripes and the 3 sets of curbs coming in from the top, getting bigger. I like the line of the curb broken into 3 segments. My only complaint--and this is strange coming from me--is I'd like to see more in focus. The out of focus leaves in the puddle distract me from the reflected image. I'm usually a fan of thin DOF. But I think more would be beneficial here. Overall, I like. -- Eric http://canid.com/
