NICE!! Love this! Great job on keeping the lines vertical :) Personally, I might take a little more off the top so that one pole wasn't clipped in the middle of the ball, but below it like the one to the right of it. However, it is awesome as is too!

Thank you, Debbra. I did a lot of straightening in this one.

I contemplated the problem of that one flagpole and decided the composition needed that additional ball to help extend the line, even if it isn't complete. #10291768

this is a great shot stephen, I do like the vertical line, I am riding on the fence about the clipped ball. #10298311
