  This is an excellent graphic image Debra! Love the warming effect, really gives you the feeling of sunset. I love your perspective too! This is a fantastic image. Congrats on your "featured gallery," as well. I did visit it and your work is lovely! Keep up the great work! Your images are all so lovely! I've missed so many the last couple of months! I'm glad I stopped by to catch up!
