WENDY BANDURSK...
am i allowed to say YOU BASTAGE! you have created a timeless image here that to my mind at least conjours up the sense of static electricity and i can FEEL that when i look at this….the violet tones are just a superb addition to the crawler lightning….. this is really quite masterful. I am jealous beyond belief…... i bet that was a real humdinger of a storm….. and i bet you KNEW it was going to be a beauty when you took it…...
Bravo Mr.
