Marnie, Pretty damned good for a 'mediocre' shot! The light, the shapes, and the prickly points are great. Regards, Bob S. On Sat, Dec 8, 2012 at 11:58 PM, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: Okay, I have a confession to make, the last three years I haven't been doing much photography. Three years ago

That's a nice mediocre shot, Marnie, and would feel at home with the images that are offered on Windows to use as desktop backgrounds. Whether this is praise or not, I will leave up to you to decide ;-) Cheers! —M. \/\/o/\/\ -- http://WorldOfMiserere.com
