[Leica] The river in Tophet Swamp

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Jim,

This is great. A really nice photo. I always like Ektachrome. Is the  
magenta a little strong? a little. Would I change it? nope. To me it  
adds to the artistic qualities of the image. To me any photo made  
with this type of fisheye is artistic so the artist has a little more  
latitude in what he presents. I'm not an artist where a photographer  
like George is so I might be wrong. But I know what I like and this I  
like.
