Scott:
This one has a lot of zest and very lively! Love the orange on green bg and the DOF is just perfect.

This must be a good month for you with the GOTM and exhibition.

Thanks Gary. To be honest, I've been so busy that I did not notice the GOTM selection until you pointed it out!

Scott, this image is beautiful and surely it has not been enough appreciated for its many merits. Well have you done posting it again. The GOTM has given to me the chance to see your portfolio: I am enthusiastic.
Take care.
