Bob you have a better memory than I have. Since I keep lousy records,it's entirely possible that I showed this before. It's neither cropped or a shift lens. The fountain is about 3ft off the ground,and i got down to the water level. Our N.Y.friends would know the fountain it's in front of the Exxon Bldg. on 6th ave. I use a wide angle lens for most of my shots.and after years of using one lens have learned to keep it paralell to vertical planes. Good to see you doing reviews again.
