The key to success when you look through the viewfinder and see something that "has been done before" or is a "cliché", is to figure out how to do it better than the last photographer. Either through composition, exposure, or decisive moment, or all of the above. If you are successful, the next guy has to do better than YOU. Steve, IMO, I'd say you were successful. Send this one to Alistair for FOM2. Right now. Jay Burleson "Some say the glass is half full. Others say it is half empty.
