I loved taking this out of it's box so much that I am considering sticking it in my camera bag and carrying it with me along with the 40D!
Very basic editing: converted to B&W, slight levels adjustment, resized, sharpened and saved!
No idea what this will acheive but am fully expecting my love of negative space to hit me where it hurts (again) :o(

Well looky here... aren't we just all "lah-dee-dah" with our fancy shmancy negative space and picture perfect crisp image all at an angle going, "Oh look at me, look at me. I'm on an angle". You just think you're so smart with your, like, focus and everything. Well... fine then.
I'm not voting, but if I were, I would not give this anything less than an 8. I like the strong lines and the composition in this . Very strong graphic image.
