Tried to post this before but it didn't go.

Anyway, thanks to Pete, who recommended using the distort tool in PS, I straightened the slope of the street to make it more like real life. Thanks, Pete.

What a fantastic scene Brian - very colorful

So Pete is leading you astray with post processing eh - it's a slippery slope, a slippery slope...

Regarding doing a shoot in your 'hood - looking good for the next two weekends after this, if any day looks favorable - or happy to do a weekday if that works better - I can be pretty flexible

Thanks, Chris.

As to Pete corrupting me, I am also aided and abetted by the fact that I've been taking a Photoshop class through the local JC for the past few weeks. So when Pete showed me a copy of his own tweak of my fotie and said "Transform, Distort in PS" I knew exactly what he meant.

However, I have vowed to use my new PS skills only for the benefit of mankind, and never for devilish purposes.

Get-together: I think a weekday is better actually, Chris. I'll take a vacation day (or play hooky) and we'll meet up somewhere. Meg (my young 'un) is going to New York in a few weeks for a dance thing and so that week would be perfect for me. (I'll get the dates and PM you.) However, if that week's NG for you we can pick a mutually convenient date. (Looking forward to getting some free photography instruction from a master! )

Thank you. But close enough now I think.

Smashing red & white with the pine bunch on the left is striking, Brian!
