Chuck
Thanks for your frank feed-back. The reality was that it was a pretty tight
shape with very little natural light so I was up against it a bit. I have
cropped out a window to the left edge, and if I cropped any tighter I think I
would have lost the line of the shelf. At the end of the day it boils down to
personal taste, but I wanted to keep the book spines readable, and roughly
where they were in the frame.
Thanks again for looking,
Gerry
