Wow!!! I *really* like how you fixed the color in that second shot!!! Do
the same thing to the first shot, and I'll grab them both from that page
and use them in my "photo album." Naturally, Joel, I'll give you
appropriate credit for fixing them for me.

Not sure what he used when he took it, or whether he mucked with it
digitally, cuz he didn't say on his site. Btw, if anyone wants to look at
his site, the URL is:
http://www.nightphotographer.com/
> I think yours is a stronger composition BTW.
Really?!?!? Gee, thanks!!! I'm kinda proud of those shots, but in all
truthfulness didn't spend alot of time composing them. It was *real* late
and I was tired, so I just pulled the car over at a convenient spot, got out
and setup, took them, and then "broke camp" and drove on.
Anyway, thanks again for fixing the photo, and for the kind words.
Regards,
Chris
