Ah, what a beautiful candidate for cropping!

P.S. Or going back and framing tighter ;)

Sorry Russ, couldn't resist simulacrum... ;-)

Nicely seen, Russ, but I think the pipe on the left spoils it (which I think is what Slobodan was getting at).

Hi Slobodan, It happens I have a slew of pictures of that wall, cropped (in the camera) in various ways. This is the one I chose out of the bunch. Unfortunately that alley got "cleaned up," and the wall surface has been turned into the kind of YEGO monotony I get from TV. In any case it's in Colorado Springs and I'm in Florida, so any additions to my wall series is kaput. Oh, and the pipe that irritates Jeremy has been removed.

Give me an example of how you'd crop it.

For instance (plus some minor tweaking):

Good, but you missed the cap on that long slash on the right.

It's empty without the pipe. Bring back the pipe!

I agree (obviously).
