This wasn't the intent when I took this photo but I was playing around with it last night and was not liking it very much. I grabbed the crop tool and started playing around with weirdo crops and ended up with this.

I think it's cool, it's not great but I think it's fun. I may mat it just to see what happens.

I think this is absoulutely great Mark. I love this type of graphic minimalism in nature...pure shape, color, patern and texture. This is precisely the kind of elusive intimate view that I am always searching for. Your crop is perfect.

Thanks, Sean, I'm might try to go large with it and see what it feels like.

What Sean said! I bet you've got some wall at work that begs for this particular pano....

Actually we have a brick red wall that this might look good on. Thanks, Eric.

Great texture and use of pano here Mark. That curve is great !!

The curve is great. I like the outcome. I played with mine from here and didn't come up with much...tried B&W, all that stuff...but yours works. It's not awesome, but it does have some graphic appeal.

I think it is very cool. I can't see B&W, but a red duotone or something maybe...

That is a ridiculously cool shot. It looks like something out of Tron.

Whn it was loading, I kept on waiting to see the rest of the image. It's nice but I feel al little short changed.

Mark, this is a great image - enough to make me come out from hiding in the RMNP region and bother to post a reply. :wink: The form of the lines and the colors make this a big winner - probably one of my favorites that I've seen you post. Its so simple, but it really has struck a chord with me!
