Sam- What a fasinating and beautiful capture here. I love the DOF and the sparkle. I agree with everyone else as to CA, EOD, and macro, with my first thought being EOD. It is such fantastic look I think it will do well, whichever you use. It is way to good not to keep entering it till it fits.
Creative and fabulous work Sam. #6668013
