Great background and you filled the frame well with this bloom at the perfect DOF. Don't worry, they'll be back.

The soft light is great here and really lets the colors come through. Nice work. I was going to post one of these soon, of course I will have to wait until the impact of yours wears off first. Thanks a lot. :biggrin:

Love the comp Lon and the detail is excellent. Beautiful understatement in the presentation. Very nicely done.

If I were to change anything I'd brighten the fg yellows just a touch but it's certainly beautiful as posted.
