  Melissa- What an eye you have girl to see the wonderful photo op for such a fantastic picture. Lov the angle of your shot and how you take us right into the center with outstanding depth. The wood is a wondeful natural color with outstanding textures. I love how you brought out the grain of the wood. Lighting is exceptional and you have a beautiful design here.
Fantastic work my firend.
Have yourself a wonderful day, take care.
