This was just something I thought of on a whim. Don't have too much time this week, but it's been forever since I've posted, so I thought I'd at least try something. (Edited to remove small white pixel that Vipermike noticed...thanks for the sharp eye!)
Fantastic capture!
I really love everything about it, from the very creative idea to the great composition and tight cropping with perfect lighting.
Congratulations…
Vipermike: Thanks! Compliments mean a lot coming from you, I admire your work. Also, I appreciate you noticing that small white spot. I am not sure what it was...maybe a reflection of the ceiling light caught in the patent leather on the shoe? In any event, it was rather distracting.
Bill: Thank you very much. Compliments coming from talented people like you make me want to keep trying. It's so easy to get discouraged sometimes with all the incredible talent on this site.
jban99: I am glad you like it. I really liked your submission this week as well. I am always so encouraged by the friendly FM community made up people just like you. Thanks again.
nlamendo, Yakim, Carrol and ruuskan, thank you all for the kind comments. Yakim and ruuskan, I will be sure to relay the compliments to my fiancee! Good luck to all of you guys this week.
