I've added the original and an intermediate step to yesterday's entry. Let me know which one you think has the best chance of getting the judges attention (if any!). Thank you!! #137898

Fantastic perspective and effects, Len. Each of these has its own merits but I think I like the tones and contrast of this one best. #593540

You never know with those judges..Just throw it all against the wall and see what sticks. LOL #593701

Janet Detota June 14, 2004

Well, it's good to balance the positive with the negative otherwise you won't appreciate either! :-) I like the colors of this one. Are you campaigning for the 'Special Effects King' title? ;-) #593731

Leonard Pierce June 14, 2004

Sorry about the late response folks, but I had to take my wife to the emergency room - she slipped and fell and we thought she broke her wrist. It turned out to be a nasty sprain but it's still very painful.
I want to thank you all - Grayce, Cathy, Wally, Cathy, Donna, Bonnie, Carolyn, Janet, Shirley, Karen, and Serena - for all of your wonderful comments and opinions. You have made one thing very clear to me - I don't need any judges because with friends like you and so many others here at BP, I'm already a winner!!!! Again, thank you all so much for your input. I appreciate it more than word can say!!

Colette M. Metcalf June 14, 2004

They are both beautiful, Len!!! Hard to choose! I guess I'm not much help!! #593983

William C. Raco level-classic June 14, 2004

No need to apologize for not responding, Len.
Certainly, your wife and family come before BP..... even though we are often virtual families.
Glad to hear she is recovering.
Beautiful photo, as well!
