Thank you both, very much! I was so happy with this one when I first shot it, and still have my fingers crossed that it might make it... #8959694Karen Rosenblum November 15, 2010

Very very cool shot Chris!!! Congratulations on this wonderful finalist !! #9036867Chris Budny November 15, 2010
Thanks so much, folks! Very thrilled this rework made it---I shot the original more than 3 years ago, early on in my SLR days, and entered that one 4 times here, to no avail. This is a great treat today! #9038204Merna L. Nobile November 15, 2010
