Thank you both, Janine & Allen! (Not sure, Allen, if you were working the "bad pun" angle?? ;) #3105993Jagadeesh Andrew Owens July 31, 2006

Great comp, colors and lighting. Very interesting shapes. #3106067ALLEN O. HOWARD July 31, 2006
No pun intended Christopher. It is simpley so well done that it shines right through in the thumbnail. But I guess I could have said it jumps right out and begs to be grabbed. Either way it looks like a winner, Allen #3106207Alice Lero July 31, 2006
