Wow! I never new that such a simple shot could be this powerful. Very natural...she seems very natural nad not in a pose of any sorts. Well done. The shape and texture of the tree add a nice touch as well. Great shot.

I have the jewish mother thing and understand totally, I am subject to torture whenever she calls me. The woman talks about nothing for hours, and then comes the guilt trips. Oy vey. Nice fake and bake by the way. Oh, tell mama that everyone likes a sexy biker gal.

Yep, your mom would be all over you , big time, if you sent this Jack Daniels picture for the Sunday school class show and tell;) This is a fine old fork in this tree and I recall seeing you hubby next to this but he did not show the same agility as you. I am somewhat good at imaging if you want your sweat redone before it heads for Texas;) Oh yes, this is a mighty fine photo with great shaded natural colors composed really good.
