There are some photographs that are presented so artistically that they take your breath away. This is one for me. It has wonderful elements such as dof, lighting, environment which enhances, and a great subject. Love it! :toast:

This is a wonderful portrait, Ian. Great detail and I especially like the soft surroundings. The water droplet is the icing on the cake. :smile:
