I like it. It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

Seriously, nice shot

Thanks. I'm going to try my hand at boosting it in photochop. I'll post the outcome here.

I liked it much better than Cats. I want to see it again & again.

I love the weed-encrusted bent-up stairway to nowhere.

Thanks. I took a huge number of pictures this past weekend from my trip to NY (but I wasn't on my bike :cry: )

CHOPPED!!

with a larger image to start (more data), it would be less pixely in the saturated areas... but oh well

Thanks Ben. I actually took some video that morning that was really wild. All the fog was rushing from the shore to, what I would assume to be, the deepest water of the river and rising from there.

I'll post it and put a link up.

How big an image have you got to work with, Tim? I can see a couple of potentially nice crops if you've got the pixels to handle it, such as --

Thanks Chris! I know what the Golden Ratio is but how does it work in say the giraffe pic?

The giraffes eye is at the 1/3 point. The eye is usually the focus of the portrait.

So why does my grid look different than the giraffe grid? I divided the image by thirds. What is the golden ratio (= 1.61803399) being measured from?

The aspect ratio of the shots above and your shot are different. Given the aspect ratio of you pic, your grid is correct.
