    I am JUST TOTALLY in AWE!!!

    Like just totally blown away that you kept this picture from us. Now are you going to put your fancy dancy glow stuff on this too?

    OMG!!

    This has got to be one of the best pictures EVER!!

    If I could put it in my favorite pictures like five times I would. LESLIE!! WOW!!!!

    OMG!! WOW!!!

  • Leslie Battjes replied

    Pretty please, forgive me??? I was never sure of how these would be taken at that site that shall not be named, so I just kept them safely stored away. I did print them, though, for myself and love them! :)
    As for the glow, I didn’t use it here. These are as is, very minimal PSing…no fractalius at all!
    Forgive me yet??
    Hugs! Love you!

    Sometimes the comments add so much to the shot. I loved this picture when I first saw it, but reading the comments made me laugh and see it again in different ways. I had to look at it again from the muppets viewpoint, and laughed. Then I had to look at it again to see the feather on his head, and laughed. =) This is just too great. =)

  • Leslie Battjes replied

    Thanks, Sarah! I’m glad you like the shot and that you also got a laugh or two. :)
