You draw us right down that narrow line, deep into the scene Nikki. Love the B&W and many strong elements of design with the lines, arched curves and roundness of the columns. Great eye. #7575911

I could see cropping this to a vertical to concentrate the center of the photo. #7655137

Nikki McDonald June 20, 2009 0
Thanks for looking, Judges -- this is my first Judges Comment. Pretty cool :)
I actually have a vertical taken at the same time but I didn't think it had as much potential -- I'll have to go back and look at what I can do with it for another time.
Thanks to everyone else, too, for your congratulations. I spent a lot of time on this one and I'm delighted to have it recognized as a finalist. #7655617
