George,

That is a spectacular looking photo! I wouldn't be too discouraged because
the "bad news" isn't so bad. I think artificial arc accentuates the photo's
natural beauty. As long as it is just one or two and doesn't clutter up the
composition, it adds to the mystique.

Thanks for sharing it, and asking about the artifact. Understanding
these things is one of my goals too.
