You think that's air you're breathing now?

I thought as soon as I got the idea (and that was almost as soon as I read the challenge) that it would be a winner, provided I could control the reflections in the glossy paper - and that proved to be no problem. Had to drop more of the tear than I wanted due to it saying 'Epson' on the back. What I didn't expect was to be up in this rarefied air of 22nd ever (and 3rd with the 602z).
JJ - the air feels great, as you should know very well!
Fiver - unlucky - it's a Creative/S3 Savage 4 :-)
One thing no-one picked up on that really bothered me: the perspective distortion of the video card beneath the picture (I couldn't shoot from directly overhead because of reflections, nor could I tilt the set-up). There actually is that same distortion in the sunset, but it doesn't register, and I thougght it clashed visually.
Anyhow - huge thanks for all the votes: you've all made me outrageously happy.
PS. and when i checked in this morning, hoping like crazy there wasn't anything to beat it, the site was down! Pure agony for about an hour :-)
