    I like it--nice tones and sharpness and juxtaposition of natural/man-made. I have to agree with Scorpio about the power lines. Thanks for the tip about the presets.

    Normally i'd totally agree. I just spent about 10 minutes taking power lines out of a shot i took last month while in BC (near Nelson). However, in this case i like the shot as is. Think it could easily pass as a vintage B&W shot. How old is the Sattledome... like 30?

    Ha! Ha! The Saddledome was built for the '88 Olympics so only 20 something. But the tree is over 100 and the powerlines probably date from the 50's. I don't mind the powerlines at all in this case.

    The powerlines are perfectly fine in this photo I think. Really well done!
