mezzer661 (Jul 23, 2009 at 18:06)

distortion - I dont think thats a fair shout! Its on pink bike not everyone uploads maximum quality because it takes too long, depending on connection. also its an awesome shot! ben 321 i so agree it doesnt look like the claw landed! would love to hear from someone who knows the outcome

still, its a fantastic photo and only i could dream of completing a 360!
