a little to much ass in this frame for my tastes..... the center framing totally works for keyhole shots like these....

maybe clone out the pole (as u suggested) with the surrounding foliage.... then dodge that area a tad...



side note: my mother is a Brit... as such I grew up using the word "whilst".... all of my friends made fun of me for using it.... apparently it's not a word in Canada...

i subconsciously removed it from my vocab.... it's a good short form for "while I was".... i wish i could have it back!
