  Thanks a lot Brinn and Karma; I tried to do something different using a very common idea.

  Hi Danilo- Good set-up! Nice and colorful but don't know if I like the big white eraser. Did you take one without it?
IMHO.

  Hi Cathy, just two words in favor of the color "white".
Sometimes (too often) we don't think of "white" as a color, that is wrong.
In fact white is the sum of all the colors available in nature. If there is one color, that is white.
Although I had erasers of other colors, I wanted to use the white one for this particular shot.
Using something white in a very colorful picture such as this one, helps to emphasize the saturation and at the same time to recognize every color as it really is; because "white" is always a reference point.
I finally like to think of "white" as a crack in a window that lets in a gentle breeze of clean fresh air inside a closed room over saturated with "colors".
However, Cathy, I like your honest feed back.
In the end it is all a matter of personal preferences, you know?
