**** MY APOLOGIES *** My apologies to Rob Carlson for attributing this image to John. I was viewing John Mason's image before posting this and got confused. Greg In my mind your printing has produced a very different image than John's. John's gives me a feeling of a futuristic, smog enveloped world where bushes on rooftops are smoke like shadows. People have been reduced to memories on billboards and the only evidence of life is the slash of neon and the light atop the building upper right. Although I sense a destroyed atmosphere on a desolate planet, there is light and therefore hope. Yours gives me the feeling of today's world (at least parts of it). Clean, well maintained building, happy Danny, bushes to break up a huge concrete wall and the building upper right is alive with light. The penthouse atop the central building however, is on fire. So me emotion goes from hope in a desolate world (John's version) to panic in a peaceful world (your version). What a dramatic change from interpreting the same base elements. Thanks for the demo Nod.
