Very cool capture, Ken, awesome colors...and the catagory thing can be a bit tricky! Sometimes there is just no right place for an image, it fits several places! #284629

Gorgeous shot! Great close up and color is superb!
I'm still trying to understand the catagory thing myself, so I'm sure you are not alone! #1644364
