Re: [Leica] It looks much better on the print, honest.

Neil,
I think you can see the effort even in this small scale web image. I  
personally think the image would be stronger if the foreground pillar  
was not included. I often include a foreground in my images similar to  
this, and usually find I should not have. A step to the right or two  
closer would have made the image stronger  -- depending on what's  
behind the pillars.

I've just spent 3 days doing the same: but wouldn't it be a let down if  
the image looked "better" on the web?? My final shot of Horse shoe bend  
looks so much better than these first prints, but the image is too  
large to fit on my scanner.

Cheers
