Awesome Work Here Jeff,WOW!!!!!!!!!!. #8711025Dennis Gay June 22, 2010
G'day *JEFF*!That sinuous 'S' shape and the richness of the flamingo pink against the black background really makes this one helluvan eye catcher.
A nice compact composition displays this study off very well.
The light is exquisite and the focus and depth of field render such awesome detail.
Powerful viewing!
