What a fasinating and unique find this was. How you saw it is unbelievable. Right away the lighting leads the way in bringing out the gorgeous colors, the beautiful textures, incredible shapes. That nail looks like one from years gone by in its shape. Andy Warhol would be so pround of you my friend. We are. #9163710

Paddy...it would be easier to picture you in your deer stalker's cap and a huge magnifying glass, if I only knew you face (hint)! You have the gift of seeing the LARGE in the small, and showing us your vision! #9163887

Debra R. Harder January 15, 2011

You always inspire me to look at details, Patrick! Sometimes one gets lost in wide angle shots (such as myself...lol)...and needs to slow things down and look at the small things. It's such a fascinating little world...and you're the best at it. Next time I'm out shooting, I need to say to myself, "What would Patrick do?" You really are brilliant my friend!! Great image!!
