Kay- Well I am glad that you got to see this beuaty and got the chance to do some gorgeous photo work with it. It is such a beuaty with its colors and markings and that log is the perfect background for it. I love the fact that you took the picture with the grain of the wood running diagonally. I also enjoy the sunlight coming out of the cornor. A beuatiful presentatin my friend.
Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy. #1320560
