  Oh Nikki...I love the textures and treatment you applied to this. Your eye for these captures is truly a gift that you use to the fullest. The light adds just that special something that pushes this over the top. Great...great work.

  You really transformed this into a work of art bringing out incredible detail, patterning and texture. The grunge and lighting really add to the mood.
