Don Johnson July 30, 2007

Another wonderful shot, Chris. I love the angle of this image with the Moon Walk boss stone in a "powerpoint" position. Congratulations! #4578829

Chris Budny July 30, 2007

Thanks, Don... I played around with several crops on this... but I wanted the moon boss up there, and the ribs to spring from the bottom corner---so it is a little "skinnier" crop than I'm accustomed to. #4578872
