#3, Shadow and Ice, is way cool. I don't think having a Summicron would
help you compose any better or use just the right exposure any better to
improve on this shot. Maybe if you were after a 16x20 it might have paid
off, but if you had waited until you had your Summicron, you would not have
been there at that time to get such a great shot.
