GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | May 12, 2007 20:27 | #10 Nice image here with nicely saturated colors and the rain adds a nice element. I like the first one for the lack of noise but the second one has some nice details lost in the first ...the 3 filaments of spider web are nice in the second one. Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....
