    outstanding image! Are there multiple exposures (or layers involved .. or “just” a focus effect? Either way, I really like the result.

  • Mark Richards replied

    Thanks Tom! This was straight through my new lens I bought, no effects or layers… what you see is what I and the camera saw. I so pleased with the result of this one.
