Fantastic capture Dan......So, thats where the "marbles that I lost" are LOL.

Marbles seem to be "the" subject this month - Dan, if you have time seek a photo by Angel Mitchell from a few evenings ago, to see what I mean.

Dan,

What a cool photograph! I remember playing marbles as a kid on the playground (long time ago). Wonderful detail and color and the DOF is great here with the other marbles. I feel as if I can grab that first one!
