Well, what do you know, another person (besides my wife :-) ) likes this picture. This isn't too surprising that the LUG crowd is a tough crowd to please and sometimes friends can be *overly* generous. What's interesting though, is that she says "I especially liked the angled one. Makes me think of a skateboarder. If you cropped the top, though, then the viewer MAY get a nifty faux-vertigo feeling that may add to the excitement that the picture gives, to me at least. It really makes me think of someone skateboarding on that rail, with the view of the world changed and blurred like that." I think I felt similarly about the big rail down the middle, without really figuring out why it was appealing to me. So here's the crop she likes http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/081506/crop0037z.jpg I doubt any of you would like it any better, and I am sure most of you think it is a waste of time to tweak a loser picture. At least it only take seconds to crop, much shorter than writing this email :-) // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
