Superb ! One of your best by far.
But I can't understand this wierd framing. Doesn't work for me at all. But who am I ?.
Sorry.

an excellent shot David, but I would agree with John re. the framing. I would much prefer to see it more conventionally presented.

Very well taken though, this does look like one of your best.

Thanks John & Matt :smile: :wink: :wavey: As to the framing, just trying to get away from the norm, and try some different variations on the ubiquitous rectangle. Hoping to grow old disgracefully photographically speaking of course. :biggrin: :wink:

Great detail David. Definitely one of your finest yet but the 3D..................... maybe I have just had too many glasses of wine :eek: :wink:

Thanks , Maggie. Too many glasses of wine, that is one way to achieve stereoscopic vision, or am I mixing that up with seeing double? :biggrin: :wink:

Agree one of your best images to date technically speaking, but I think it is spoiled by the framing..
