Boris,  thanks for the comments.  I find that I do not crop much, especially
if I am scanning negatives.  All the photo classes I've taken drilled the
'compose in the viewfinder' mentality into me, and that must have stuck.

I agree that the towers of light photo is a little bottom heavy, but that's
how the 28mm lens saw it (needed to go wide to get the whole skyline in).
I'll play around with it, maybe crop to a panoramic-like format.

BTW, There's not much color in it... it is a B&W image (plus-x I think) that
I converted to duotone in photoshop.  I did shoot a roll of color neg that
night so it will be interesting to compare them, if I can find it and get it
scanned.


Mike
