Hiya ROBERT!Exquisite is the first word to spring to mind. You have caught those glorious colours, tones and luminocity as beautifully as you have the sharpness.
The shell of its former self is nicely displayed as well.

Thanks for all the comments.Dennis ... glad we found this one before it dried. Once it dries, it no longer has that beautiful blue sheen. #10315264

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
