Kathy, really nice!
Love the colors, BG, and border (being a "border" person, much to the distress of some!

)

Hi Kathy, I'm back!!!! Wow, what a difference a monitor can make in viewing an image. This sucked on my sister's laptop. Glad I waited until I got back home to review and give my 2 cents worth.

I really like tht portrait quality to this capture. Looks like you are getting very familiar with your new software apps. You know my nit. Have another one.

Where is the larger image file so we can enjoy this capture better!!!

Wow Kathy! I love the way this subtly fades into the black! Still enough detail in the leaves left and the lighting is outstanding!!!
