Melissa- I so enjoy the outcome of this image with the fantastic work you did to accoplish it. I so love the tone of the picture. The black and white look with that hint of sepia works so beautifully with this image and the idea of really pulling out the textures. The presentation is gorgeous, love the shapes and lines. Creative, fantastic look my friend.
Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy. #8469122
