I love the lighting & shadows & pov, Melissa!.....The tag on the green box to the right caught my eye as well..have you tried to crop that out of the image? I particulary like the different textures, too.
I like the Tampa Bay area...so much to see & shoot! I spend a lot of time north of there in Hernando County. #2869311
