That is a fantastic photo all the way around. The color is outstanding and the clarity is right on. It's also a very interesting and eye catching subject...great job!

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

I'm with Kidder on this one. It's a great pic from the ground up, but I'd like to see it from the top down ... are you going to?

I won't be uploading images until my computer comes out of its sudden coma, as I am commenting using a shared machine that doesn't have PhotoShop or my images on it. :(
