This is a really terrific image. Normally text in a photo such as this would be distracting, but in this case, it adds something to that area which does not have much in the way of detail or texture. I do, however, find the fade at the bottom of the image distracting,
you're right about the fade i'll take care of that. this was shot at noon almost into the sun so that might be why it looks a little harsh. thanks for looking and commenting!
