I wonder how it would look with the spike going up were 'cloned' out of the picture. My sense of integrity and truth would never allow me to suggest something like that but:
a. as my teacher tells us "think digital" b. the spike might be weakening this wonderful collection of textures, colors or is it colours, and sky and water, and old barnaculed cement block with pipe fitting. c. you are not a photojournalist but an artist seeking a different 'truth' d. I am fond of rationalizing <g>

You made some valuable points, I had the same problem with that pin, but couldn't decide to brush it away for several reason. It's kind of a landmark and I am not sure if I really wanna alter it. maybe one day ;)
so cool - you, your hidden camera obscura, and their legs and their reflections... if you entered this into the "Reflections" contest my entry has no hope, it is all over but the voting <g>... I am going off to burn my worthless pixels
