It is an excellent shot.

Glamorous? Well, not to my eyes.

Nicely caught!

a whole different place.

It's like the Spider. See him in the yard it's just another bug. Put him on a mirror and get a double image with studio lighting it's a whole 'nother thing.

Little baby toad in the grass gets lost but put him in another arena and perspectives change.

Sometimes I feel like the kid in Sixth Sense. I see things . . .

edit to add: Used your negative space cropping.

I thought you already knew how to do that.

Your work is really phenomenal. I looked at your updated album on SmugMug, and I was blown away. I especially loved the sand dollar photo.

Maybe someday I'll buy one....but I have so little wall space left from my own photos.

Rotate your art by the season. I use the same frames and change out the pictures.
