Roxanne- Good afternoon my dear friend. Hope your day has been a good one.
First I love the story and the way you introduced us to the family. The effects you used are sensational. I love them. Really compliments the picture sow well. Wonderful presentation. As with everything else there is alot of work to get these potatoes from planting to the market.
Lighting and clarity are outstanding. Details really do a wonderful job of highlighting the potatoes and the one hans of the people checking them.
Excellent work my friend.
Have a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy #5938552
