hey thanks a lot everyone for the good comments and crit. benny k - yeah, i think you're right about the dirt looking flat. thanks. as for the size of the tv i go back and forth on it. my wife thinks it looks fine, but i'm not sure. i wonder if it's maybe because sidewalks tiles in brooklyn look big to me, compared to back home. shadowspy - thanks mate. hmmm - the road is definitely a different level to the sidewalk - check the previous shot. the road does have a slight curve to it's profile tho. neostrider - thanks. yep, digital camera.
