nice shot.

As an aside, I often wonder why digital photographers mentioned 'cropped shot'. In film photography it was always the norm to crop a decent shot to make it even better (more interesting, show more detail, refocus attention, etc.). In digital photography it seems that folks are apologetic for cropping. Personally, i see no point in mentioning whether a photo is cropped or not. I have never heard a film photographer mention that a photo was cropped.

I think some people make note of it being a cropped image because in many cases cropping the digital image may amplify unwanted digital artifacts. I don't bother mentioning it's cropped because most of my cameras have between 20 and 50 megapixels so cropping isn't a big issue.
