To make a better (IMO) picture? I tried a few "width enhancements" in PS. Increasing the image you showed (280 pixels wide) to 325 or even 350 pixels wide just seemed to produce a more balanced result. As initially shown it seemed a bit too "narrow" for mya tastes. Maybe that was linked to the very tight cropping around the statue, door top and door side. > Nobody likes fat statues! Over here obesity > is a big issue, and we have to set examples.

I was more thinking of taking three paces to the right ;o) Actually though: I prefer it as taken. "Looking across" the picture would be more conventional - thus a bit booring. Bob
