Thanks. I shot it without any vehicles, then with a car going by. When I saw the truck coming I knew I wanted it in there. (He was moving pretty quick, so I was happy with the shutter timing). But the original had either the truck too dark, or I would loose the deep green of the building. Thank goodness for Viveza software to be able to burn in the truck without loosing the other colors. I posted the set showing the process on the photo site where I put up my practice stuff (full resolution).

Thanks diaduck, It was tough with the 28 as I wear glasses and can't see both sides of the frame at the same time, so it took several tries to get it exactly where I wanted it.
Really loved the photos, great place and nice images. Questioning a bit the reason for placement on Leica Images website when no stated Leica equipment was used. Were some shot with Leica glass and adapters of some sort?
I sort of felt that way when I stumbled on the effect while trying to salvage a seriously flawed (backlight totally fooled the M9) image. I liked so many things about it that I just started to play. I often find the accidents are the most fun.
Nice shot. I love when I see a picture and am instantly transported back to a place I have been. Especially when the person captured some detail that I missed and it just adds to the memory. Great job.
Wonderful. I recognized this building from our trip last fall immediately, even though it is such a small part of the building. I echo the thought that this is wonderfully composed. It also is a good example of where a longer focal length can push a photo to something more memorable than just a shot of the whole. I shot several of the building but I had my 28mm Elemerit lens on and didn't feel any of the results conveyed the real "feel" of the building that I had when I saw it. This shot does just that. Thanks for posting.
