I think that the edge treatment is most suitable, as well. Have you looked at the image turned 180 degrees so that the water appears to flow left to right? It seems marginally more natural to me. I wonder if that might be due to the Western left to right writing convention? I like it most of all rotated vertically.

I'm continuing to work the water sculpture as the light changes. Using the 35 I was able to capture this image which I felt was improved by playing with the boundaries of the image to break the rectilinear edges. <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/L1000099-shrp.jpg> This was at ISO 160 and relatively wide open. Spirit posed on the arm of my chair. Light was a nasty combination of indirect florescent off a wood ceiling and a halogen reading light. Spirit loves the warmth from the halogen bulb. I tried to choose a gray that in both light sources and so, perhaps, didn't get a good color rendition anywhere! <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/L1000092.jpg> This is ISO 640, wide open, 1/90th of a second. Comments welcome, thank you! Adam Bridge _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
