Just super, Ken! The clarity is amazing and the vertical crop really emphasizes it though I love the horizontal version, too. If this had been in your gallery when the Chamber of Commerce looked through it, it would have been on the "pick definitely" list for sure. #4856244William C. Raco September 28, 2007
