Congratulations! One thing, though; are you sure about that aperture setting? That's a pretty huge depth of field for f2.5, even for a digicam.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! To answere a few questions:
* This was taken with my Canon Powershot G2, not that high end of a camera.
* Yes, it would probably look better with more sky above teh top.
* I think the bottom would have looked better there if I'd have gotten the left side not cut off, or if I'd rotated around slightly to get one of the three pieces of the bottom straight on.

A testament to Canon's fantastic consumer-grade camera technology! And Myk, of course! :)

Where's the haystack? I wonder how many people won't know what this is.

spot on exposure - superb detail in your <150Kb file - good resizing - got to be a top-end cam?

So sharp it hurts, and very nice color. Did you try any different compositions? They'd be interesting to see.

I really like this photo. I love how the circular top of the Needle is centered in the photo. I also love the contrast against the dark sky.
