Greg, Yes, I saw that if cropped-- the image should have more water on the left to remain intriguing. Lawrence, I can believe I did not recognize the buoys, as I have not seen them for too-too long. Hiking Cadillac mountain for blueberries then lobster for breakfast-yummy memories-thanks! -Bobbie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > I had not seen that crop and tried it.

With a more vertical cropping, the buoys look almost set up. As the image is, I get the feeling they are floating out to sea and not nearly as static.
