Ah Chris, the beauty of a photographer's mind....you looked at this for ten years....but you finally saw the beauty that it is and you captured it well. Great job. Did you print and hang it near the lamp? #2963118Chris Budny June 28, 2006
Thank you so much, Tamera, Susan & Debbie! Alas, Debbie, I have yet to try my luck at printing any of my shots! I know I should, but thus far, I've been lodged firmly in the world of online sharing only! #2963135Doug K. Herrman June 28, 2006
