    looks a pretty “special” shot to me Janet, nice work as usual

    …well, I have seen it as a print, and it looks awesome.

  • I think the metallic paper that it is printed on helps to make it zing.

    Awesome work Janet – bet she loves it too!!

  • Thanks Anne, apparently some of her friends had seen it around the traps and told her about it. That’s why I’ve put it up so she can see it for herself. I’ll show her the print one day.

    good for her! The background sky adds so much drama! Also love the lens you chose. Hope she likes the photo!

  • Thanks for dropping by Peggy. I haven’t had that lens all that long and love the perspective it can provide on some shots. I think my niece will like the shot.
