    Good idea for a prop, Mel. You can place it before the camera or behind it… I like how the chair seems right side up in reflection as opposed to the light pole.

    Funny, Tots wants the texture, I’d settle for the sin…

    I have been sitting here trying to figure out why I like this so much. And then I figured… why do I need a reason? I just like it! :)

    I like it. :) I like the hues especially..the jade greens & blues here
    are lovely. (And I like that you didn’t texture it to death like other works I’ve seen here at RB, including my own sometimes.) Just hints of them here and there. Nice. :)
