Georgous! I esp like the light on the leaves in the upper left hand corner on the leaves, how the light is shining through the trees down onto the beauty on the ground. Love the rich garnet red pants she is wearing. I really could go on and on. Great talent* #463559

Carolyn Foster Spano June 12, 2006
