Markjay - Thanks for the comment. I did try a grayscale look at this image; amped the contrast, etc. and it was just too cold for me. It seemed to have a bit more life with the little color that is there. The brown seems to add just that bit it needs. Thanks for asking, tho. Burrr, ... it makes me want to sit by the fire. I've been looking for a bunch of five live sunflowers for the Eligible Gallery, but haven't found them yet. Warm fuzzies, -mikey
