    Wow Lois…amazing lighting in this capture. And again the details are exceptional. Cheers, S.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Sandra, you’re the best!!! Thank you thank you!!! I think my “eye” for detail is the result of being soooo nearsighted for years when I was a little girl. Now, I’m having trouble allowing myself to take “soft focus” images … but I’m getting there!!!!
