Hi Nathan,  Happy Holidays.

Both the original picture from your sister's window and this one are  
exceptional. Because of the light streaks I like this one a little  
better. And don't be afraid to treat the M8 like a real camera  
because it really is. ;-)  You are obviously having a fine time with  
it. Your photos are great.

Cheers,
Len
