Sorry, Sanjay, we crossed in cyberspace!! Nevertheless, thanks ever so much to you, Cathy, Aloha e Patty, and Donna for always being so supportive and encouraging!
Donna: Bloom will be right around the corner (LOL)!! And keep the subject approx. 12 inches or so away from the BG when you shoot! Keeps everything nice and black :-)!!
Thanks once again and I really do appreciate your stopping by to comment!
