Thanks Paul, I meant to respond to your post a while ago but I've been busy
and didn't get to it.
I agree with you on the reorganization of the galleries. When I have time
to do more then just post new images I think I will do just that.

Yea, I've been working on that. I should have shot this at something more
like f8 instead of f4 but I think what I wanted to do is have only the
building focused and I think the autofocus got the trees in the foreground
instead of the building. I'm used to manual split focus of my old OM-1 and
haven't quite mastered the auto focus yet.

Again some reorganization is in order and will happen sooner or later. ;-)
