I SHOULD have worked the image more but I wimped out. I look at the image and I see what you're talking about. I hope I can let your suggestions inform me the next time. I actually considered cropping a bit but I didn't want to get rid of the red blob in the top part which sort of made the shot for me. And maybe there's something to learn there - that one shouldn't be wedded to any particular part of an image.
