Thanks to everyone who commented the initial version of this image. I've uploaded a slightly uptoned version which should better convey the mood.Lesson for all of us late-night photo buffs - watch out if you're working in a dim room, on a bright screen, with tired eyes - even if your monitor is perfectly calibrated, you're likely to get a big shock when you see your masterpiece the next day at work, in broad daylight!

Wow - thanks Amy! Either I'm getting better with my G5, or else luckier... I'm really hooked on setting everything manual, there's so much more control available.Christian #1093702
