Thanks for commenting Emily. I did not 'go' to sepia. This is a color
photograph, no manipulation at all, no over saturation, no
desaturation, no sepia. It is as seen in the camera. I guess that's
one of the reason why I love it. Can we say 'monochromatic'?

Sorry, I'm not cropping one pixel out of this baby. It's art :-)
Ok, maybe some of the left and right would go if I need an 8 by 10
format print.

Amazing, isn't it? Well, there's a story here too. This image is
cropped out of the centre of an image. It's 100 percent size as, a
mere 900 odd pixels on the long side. It's like shooting on a 1.2
megapixel camera, or perhaps a cellphone has more res these days :-)

As well, this was shot at ISO 800 and a bit noisy, so I softened it in
Neatimage, used my history brush, and took it down to my lab for a 10"
by  15" Frontier print. Wow, it's a georgeous print! There is no sign
of a pixel, a grain or noise, even up close.

Now I ask you, does the Canon 10D rock?
Ain't digital grand?
