Thanks for the tip :)

Really? Because that was intentional, and supposed to enhance the drama of the triangle... hmm

Thanks very much for the brilliant score, all of you :) I really didn't expect it to ribbon! Very pleased, and the 100-400 has paid off :)

You know i had the exact same idea, but was too busy to ever get round to actually photographing it... still got the crane on my table too. I was going to use snow for a background though. Very well executed :)

This is the Forth Rail Bridge viewed from the north side of the Forth - it's just to the north of Edinburgh.

Originally posted by RulerZigzag: Returning for comment. This photo looks ver neet. The exposure is good. I did notice one small flaw in the upper left hand and bottom right hand corner. It appears you rotated this. You could of tried smudging them out

Yikes! I totally failed to notice this on my monitor at home, it's only looking at it on another computer that i spotted it at all. That was careless of me :(

Cheers for all the great comments folks - very much appreciated :)
