Ahhhh, now I see it. I was actually expecting a butterfly, and kept waiting for one to appear as the photo loaded on my screen from top to bottom. <g> I must be honest with you, Bruce, this photo doesn't grab me as 'most all of yours do. Maybe I need to look at it a few more times, or maybe seeing it on a computer screen doesn't do it justice, but there's something that I'm just not getting. Sorry, but I figure that you'd rather I be honest than to give false praise where I don't feel it. Hope you don't mind. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
