  No pun intended Christopher. It is simpley so well done that it shines right through in the thumbnail. But I guess I could have said it jumps right out and begs to be grabbed. Either way it looks like a winner, Allen

  Thanks so much, folks... I am so glad I resubmitted this one from the summer! One of my fav's, to be sure! (Michael, that is why my 3 Finalists for Nov. are at the end of the pages of Finalists---they were all resubmits of older images, so they have lower, older, Photo ID #s)

  First time I looked at it, kinda went "hmm", went back and it still worked, very engaging.

  Thank you very much, Susana!
I kinda wish now I'd also done some close-ups of it; perhaps just part of that yellow arc, sweeping through the frame against the red.
