Thanks, Carla, Nobi & Cathy! #4566911Don Johnson July 30, 2007
Another wonderful shot, Chris. I love the angle of this image with the Moon Walk boss stone in a "powerpoint" position. Congratulations! #4578829Chris Budny July 30, 2007
Thanks, Don... I played around with several crops on this... but I wanted the moon boss up there, and the ribs to spring from the bottom corner---so it is a little "skinnier" crop than I'm accustomed to. #4578872Nikki McDonald August 27, 2007
Wonderful pov and tones here, Chris. Congratulations and good luck in the next round. #4706593Chris Budny August 27, 2007
Thanks so much, Nikki; but I think you may have picked up the wrong Finalists off my gallery; this was a June! ;) #4707669Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
