* Striking symmetry! How much time do you take to adjust your shot for such accuracy? I almost always loose patience while trying to get good symmetry and I don't use a tripod either. The quotes you post are just as beautiful.[reply]Apurv @ 2006-06-08 08:50:03

* sorry for the typo -- I meant "lose patience"![reply]Apurv @ 2006-06-08 08:52:42

* Thanks, Apurv. In this case, very little time at all and, much to my amazement yesterday, I needed to do no straightening or geometric correction post-camera on this handheld shot. Other times, I can spend hours before giving up and deleting![reply]AG @ 2006-06-08 09:10:11

* the strange thing with this shot is that, that sculpture looks almost like my father :) LOL*
i like this one too my friend :)[reply]Bruno @ 2006-06-08 09:34:56

* An impressing looking figure. It is my ambition in life to, one day, be able to grow such a beard.[reply]Heath @ 2006-06-08 09:46:59

* nice image. liek such details of fasades. where did you make this photo?[reply]*mamo @ 2006-06-08 09:49:18

* Imagine to have a sculpture like that above the entrance. Great shot![reply]Erik @ 2006-06-08 10:09:43

* Tremendous face - we have a few of those around here and I love them.[reply]jane @ 2006-06-08 12:08:41

* I love these above eye level shots! It reminds us of the lovely architecture & sculpture that exists all around us... if only we took the time to look up a bit.[reply]Michael @ 2006-06-08 13:46:38

* A fantastic composition! I especially like the blue in the window...a great touch.[reply]micki @ 2006-06-08 15:03:18

* The comp is great w/ excellent detail/symetry. The blue window is nice, too. I find myself dreaming this bearded fellow is Zeus, looking up at that blue sky.[reply]Dave @ 2006-06-08 17:42:17

* Thanks to Jane, Micki, Apurv, Bruno, Heath, Mamo, Erik, Michael and Dave for your Comments on âKeystoneâ. It was the blue in the reflection that really caught my attention and pure chance that I picked up a portrait of Brunoâs father . . lol . . . thanks again to everyone : you make the footwork feel worthwhile.

* great job on the lines, i really enjoy shots like these. i practice lines a lot myself[reply]shane j montgomery @ 2006-06-13 16:05:24

* Thanks, Shane. As I admitted above, I was amazed that the lines came out from camera as straight as seen here. No correction at all.[reply]AG @ 2006-06-14 10:22:30
