Hi Sunset Man, you're right, haven't spoke much in a while, so many members, can't get to everyone. Your seashell collection is quite nice and what a great idea. Sorry too, to hear about your cat, we lost ours at a young age due to health, and it's like losing a good friend indeed. Yes, your crop idea works well and looks good, I did think about it as I usually crop for the firt step in all my post processing but thought it might look to narrow, anyway, both look good. Thanks for your comments, and keep up the great work, your sunsets are stunning too.
I haven't heard from you since you commented on my Macaw way back in October 2005, but I must say this is a remarkable National Geographic Image if I may declare, but how about a straight up crop as per the attached?
