I took a shot a couple of minutes before this one, where the light was better, but the composition didn't work out. So I shot a few more, of which this was the best. I would have preferred it to have been more striking, but I'm pleased with the composition and the overall feel of the shot.

On another matter: AT and John both commented on yesterday's shot to the effect that it was pixelated. On my screen there's no pixelation at all. Does anyone know what might cause John's and AT's setup to show a pixelated version of the shot? I can't figure it out.
