Great comp, colors and lighting. Very interesting shapes. #3106067

ALLEN O. HOWARD July 31, 2006

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 #3106207

Chris Budny January 02, 2007

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. #3773404
