Well Dale, you've made this image snap, crackle and pop! Excellent treatment, details, colors, exposure...the whole nine yards! #9531200

Carolyn, Carol, and Joannie, thanks so much for such nice comments. LOL. This is one of those images that was the result of boredom. Needed something to do so went back over some images I'd taken last month and found this one that I'd passed over.

Started playing around and this was the result. :o) #9531787

I was instantly drawn to the rich colors in this one. Very nicely done! My eye is taken right in to the gun and bullets, but I also get to enjoy all the textures in this shot. :~) #9560328
