Hi Michael,

Great shot!! Especially like the frame filling scene with great colors and clarity. The lighting looks very nice and an excellent background to go along with this excellent shot. I know it's a personal choice but I would have cloned out that pink area in the URC. :toast:

Beautiful!

Must be related to the Monarch, eh? Or is this a dark form of the Monarch?

Michael, Wonderful light for this shot, and the detail is exquisite in both the queen and the "throne," with perfect focus. Well-deserved WP.
