Martha R. Mazon July 11, 2011
Beautiful work Kitty! I like the B&W but I think the color version has more emotional impact. It's the soft colors in the sky, reflected in the water, which adds the perfect note of melancholy. Thanks for sharing them both! #9522371Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas July 11, 2011
