Wonderful variety in your gallery as always, Pat -- so much fun to browse! I always admire your creativity and skill in the digital darkroom -- you find just the right effects for the subject (as in Grandma's Love Chair). You know I'm a fan of natural design elements so it should come as no surprise that I really like your look shot and there are so many others I could mention. This is the one I've settled on as my pick from among your June entries. The POV is powerful and I love the tones and light -- that wooden platform is to die for :) Good luck with it. #7711143Colleen Farrell July 21, 2009
