Bill, I took the liberty of performing a quick and dirty skew correction on your window shot. To my eye, the camera was slightly skewed at capture --- and it doesn't take much skew to render the rhomboid geometry. I realize it may not be the way the window looked originally, but I think it is a bit more "comfortable" to look at, at least IMHO:Thanks Dominique & Keith, your comments most welcome!
Keith, you bring up an interesting quasi-ethical issue! The fact is, the bag was there and so it got recorded. In fact there was no way I could have had it removed - but would I have if I could have? Probably not - my view is that I should record what "is", not what I'd like to see!
As for straightening the window, the same thought applies. If it really was tilted, that's the way it should be recorded, IMHO. In this case I'm not sure if it really was or whether it was a lack of proper alignment on my part. I'll revisit the image (which was cropped to show here) to see if the tilt was "real" or "me"!
Thanks for commenting!

Thank you, David.Bob, I think this shot is beautiful. Well done.
oooh, so smooth is the water!S2,70mm - f/16, 8sec.
I recognize the look. For me, it's not a good one...My wife was really bored by me playing with my new MF cam... heh.
oh this is just not fair I lived not far from it for few years (in 4 corners), and each time i tried to get on list for the trip - there were like dozens of people ahead of meYou know the place.
