ScanMan, I have one thing to say:
"More!"

Thanks a lot, SoyMac! ACR doesn't support my S90 yet, so I'm doing a few trip shots through Canon's DPP, just to see if the camera is gonna make me happy. The RAW conversion is limited and a pain, so I'll shelve my files and wait for news from Adobe. Always love a good aquarium...

Thanks, all. The dome shot is purely the result of "looking up", which is something I think we've all got to remind ourselves to do.

Touring the Eastman house you find yourself going ooohhh, aaahhh...look at that desk, wow his library, his own camera right here on the mantle...what a staircase! But you've got to remind yourself to look where no one else is looking.

Same thing when trundling off through the bush, taking pictures all the way. Stop and turn right around sometimes. It's not always what's in front of you. I've got some interesting shots that were right behind my back.

Like you're all saying... content and composition is critical. I wish more of my shots had it. But that's the challenge, isn't it?
