As expected, I found this discussion most interesting and a microcosm of  
the 
value of LUG membership.  George's comments led me to do a small  
experiment. 
 Looking at them at normal LUG Gallery size, I found myself  partial to the 
cropped version.  However, enlarging and viewing at a size  that fills the 
screen, I think the original version starts to shine.  I had  a few 
associates 
look at the pair and that was the general consensus. In the  end, I guess 
size 
matters ;-).
 
BTW, George, the Back Bay I've been photographing is in Newport Beach,  
California.  Although I only spent a few days in Wisconsin (Fox River  
Area), I do 
understand why you love it.  I had only a few free hours,  and used them to 
make a bee line to Oshkosh and the EAA Museum.  But next  time I have the 
opportunity to visit,....
 
Best regards,
 
Ira Silverman
Irvine, CA
