Nancy A. Eaton September 08, 2009 0

What an absolutely fabulous photograph, Marvin! The first question in my mind is - which one is the angel? Both subjects are captured as candidates - that's probably why you used "Angels" for the title. Congratulations on your book - I hope you'll let us know when it's out so we can get a copy ... #7925198
