    Great work Mel – love the warm tones and the way the image is ambiguous… sometimes the violins overlap and other times they are directly behind eachother – it’s alll down to the great composition… Nice shot indeed!!!! Also, great title by the way!

    another wonderful photograph – again a favorite – love the cherry/cinnamon tones and how the closeup adds an abstract touch to the composition but leaves just enough details to pique one’s interest
