Great capture, Michael! #1202623Cheryl Schneider November 10, 2009
Very nicely done, Michael. #8120852Michael Kelly November 11, 2009
Tess and Cheryl thank you so much for your gracious comments on this little monster. Most appreciated! #8123967Stephen Shoff November 27, 2009
I'm going to have to figure out your technique, Michael. Vibrant color on the subject with subdued color on the supporting elements. That combined with the stunning sharpness makes an image in a class of its own. #8173182Jeff E Jensen December 15, 2009
Congrats on a well deserved finalist! #8218102Aimee C. Eisaman December 15, 2009

Hey Aimee, I'm heading to Vegas for a few days (for work), should I put it all on black, or red? #8222385Karen Celella December 16, 2009
