Thank you for the advice Caedes. Compact digitals are bad for this! Believe it is called lens barrel distortion? Little skew action in photoshop was the fix:-)

I didn't think about it being a side affect of the camera. BTW I've up voted this one too. =)

Thank you Caedes! The original image had the path centered in it. Looking back at the original both left an right sides have the distortion! I cropped this according to my taste of the rule of thirds with the vanishing point of the path more or less in that bottom right intersection. One more reason to get that digital slr, to possibly avoid this distortion. May have to side with the original I posted becuase it seems to be doing much better than this image????

Its dark and spooky in there. It’s a small change Darryl but its really improved the image.

I love this type of terrain and angle D.I think I would have cropped it below the bright light in the upper left and made it darker there by drawing more attention to the path.Wonderful how it sits none the less.

Amazing. It is so unreal! Too bad it isn't a smidge more crisp...but even as it is it deserves a 10.

I like the blurred light exposure points where it seems to smudge reality and blend what we see with what we dream of seeing... Nice work.
