    I like the effect you have created. However, the scene seems lopsided to me. The major hunk of the bright sky is positioned well left of center. The land mass is weighted far to the left. You have to forgive me, buddy, that old tyranny of symmetry and balance just won't get off my back.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hi Tom, thanks for the comment. I’m not sure what you mean, would you care to take it and show me?

    It's not something I could show you. It's just the way I perceive the image. Like I said, I do appreciate the effects of your efforts....visually, there's a good bit of mystery and intrigue, at least as I see it. Perhaps the effects are the primary subject? Otherwise, when I look for the primary subject and scan the image, all my attention is drug to the left, where the bulk of the image resides. In other words, as I see it, the image is out of balance. You know, in reflection, maybe it's a delayed reaction on my part perpetuated by that episode with the Mexican Indians.

    Would this be better Tom?

    This is certainly a highly subjective opinion, but I do prefer the cropped version. Losing that bit of dead space on the right made for, in my mind, more balance to the image. Thanks for indulging my idiosyncrasies, my friend.

    Thanks Tom, I think I like it better too.
