Holy Doodle, Tammy! I came to visit your gallery and the awesome images are jumping out all over the place. Your work is superb!!! I had to comment on this one for sure. You know it's not just BP but anyone and everyone is looking for one of a kind images. This is one of them. None of us will ever see another image like this one and for that you get a 10/10 in my book.

Bravo! Yes, Eerie as others have said, but mainly this is enthralling and unique. What a great eye you have!
