Agree. A very nice pic.

If rotated 90 deg anti clockwise, how will it look? Thks!

agree with tchuanye

a very nice shot but rotate 90 deg
I love the light very much

Hi... yes I rotated the pic 90 degrees on screen myself to see how it looked like too, though I didn't save that version. I think it works quite well, however in the end I went with the original orientation to make it more true to the scene I saw and captured.

I like this in a different sort of way too. I think I might have used flash on the pic but I'm not sure - gotta check my original files on my other comp.
