I actually thought about doing that with the white spots, but decided
I'd probably end up doing more harm than good.
It was the one real concern I had with the image, so I figured I'd get

All of them are really nice, Ann!
If forced to pick a favorite, I'd have to go with Rain Stops. It just

eventually go, I'll be glad I have this photo to give to his family.
Comments are, as always, welcome.
