Thanks for the feedback.

The one thing that really caught me by surprise with this pic is that
several people have commented that it reminded them of 9/11.  I never
thought of it, nor noticed it.  I'll yank it in the next 24 hrs.

Anyways, it did what it was supposed to and started some discussion.
Now, how about some samples from others?  I know this organization has
some really creative people.  Let's see some more pics.

BTW - Now that I have some time over the weekend.  If anyone has created
an image and they want to share with the group, but don't have webspace
themselves, just email it to me with instructions on how you wish it
displayed.  I'll be happy to put up a sample gallery for the rest of
WSFA to comment. My email can handle images up to 10 Mb, but I would
recommend JPG or GIF files of 1Mb or less for web display.

Cheers!

Stan
