Beautiful image. > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Jim, I think having plenty of space in front of me before any potentially troublesome verticals are encountered was a huge help. Having good light and colour didn't do the shot any harm either but the star is the 15mm Voigtlander Heliar ASPH. It flies in the face of received wisdom by being both a wonderful lens and relatively inexpensive ($345 from <http://www.cameraquest.com> with finder). Thanks for looking. --Graham
