I shot this at my local supermarket and the manager came over and yelled at me!!! He said I could not take pictures in the store! It is not a top secret place that I know of! Totally embarassed me!! Used topaz glow on this.

Beautiful capture Kathy! You got the shot that's what counts supermarkets are the new Area 51!! LOL! #1619089Debbie Bray May 27, 2015
Wonderful DD work, and the fact that you stole this picture gives you higher marks for your efforts! He could have asked you politely, rather than yelled at you. I would be making a complaint to his boss - everybody belongs to a food chain, lol! #11309202Leslie McLain May 27, 2015
Beautiful capture, colors, and effects, Kathy. Sorry you got yelled at. #11309204frank w. degenhardt May 27, 2015
Every once in awhile we get someone who will freak out. I let it go. But at least you got a beautiful picture for your troubles. The colors, those gorgeous textures, and that black background indeed are beautiful. A work of art Kathy. #11309442Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas May 28, 2015
Fantastic work Kathy!,Becky LeMaster May 29, 2015
AWESOME KATHY!!! This is drop dead gorgeous! Beautiful colors, lighting, detail, and treatment! I was confused about your title until I read your write up. Now I get it! You should get the gold just for your trouble! The manager was probably having a bad day and was in SERIOUS need of a hug!! :0) #11310096Mary K. Robison May 29, 2015
Kathy, I feel your pain. I had the same kind of encounter at one of our local grocery-chain stores.Patrick Rouzes May 29, 2015
