So well done AGAIN, Dolores. I think I'd be really surprised if you came up with an average looking picture! I agree with all the nice comments. Well composed, good choice of b&w. Good luck in the competition- not that you need it...the nice words you gace Annika, which match you too. #71198

You're so sweet, Mette! Thank you! Oh trust me...I not only have "average" images...I have some downright ugly ones! I appreciate your sweet comments on my image.

HI Gary! I'm so delighted you like it! The sun was nice and bright that day and gave me the perfect backlighting I needed. I rather like this one myself~~ Again, your kindness is immensely appreciated! #71289
