"A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE"
"A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE"
f/4, 1/125s, 105mm, ISO 200, indoors wth natural light. Keith adores his grandchildre. This is Nathaniel. For the Led Zeppelin 101 theme and celebration. A celebration of love!

About 2/3 or 3/4 of you will probably like the original better, but I wanted to make it sort of "trippy" for the Led Zeppelin theme. And to make it more celebratory. LOL!

Ok, so here is the before, and I made the background by making a patter of the fence right outside the door and then giving it glowing adges and rotating it, putting one layer of it behind and one on top. Mary :-D
