Thanks Grayowl. You know, not until you mentioned it did I notice the sloping horizon. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers!

Hi Jim,

I never did get around to thanking you for your note. Your comments were and are much appreciated. This ended up being my first print sold. To large hotel in downtown Toronto... part of a Canadiana theme. Cheers!

As for me, you have got a good note from me but I haven't you as first. The reason? Your horizon is sloping.
I think it would bring you a lot of better votes if you would make this easy correction.

Just want you to know I had your's as first. I think the winner was to over processed but as always that's personal opinion.

This is a really great image.
