It think its much better than the slide one, it has nice colours but Im still not a great fan of it, its seems sorta plain and uninteresting I'm afraid, especially when compared to your "Plant Thing"
you have made the photo on a great spot but i think it is not the right street to make it.. well i think it is to busy there with cars if you know what i mean.. i prefer see a way with nothing else on it =D *i`m not saying the photograph is wrong, but my feelings say the place is wrong*
