Murry,
Excellent shot my friend! I really like the 'graphic' quality of this image created by the light edges and repeating patterns. Hope you're having a great summer!
God Bless,
Greg

Sharon Day 		  Fantastic image, Murry!! Belated congratulations. Your gallery is awesome and I don't use that word often! I was just viewing an image by Dorothy Neumann of a duck where you had explained the fine art of sharpening. Everything I've uploaded has looked soft to me and I really appreciated the advice you gave Dorothy. Sounds good and I'm hopeful this will resolve my problems too. My images are ok until I upload them and I've been wondering what the problem is. Great job on all your photos!
