Nice shot, clever framing, "giving us steps to the lighthouse" ~ Stan

I like the grey as opposed to the white background, the image is not fighting with background so much this way. ~Sharon

Wonderful, Michael. I also did not suspect that this would be yours. You are full of excellent and creative surprises. I love it!

Trav, I agree. I found the white background bothersome, but I had been working to match the gallery background which doesn't quite work and I got all hung up on that. I gave up and went to white, which I think we can both agree was a mistake. I've settled on a mid-grey which I think enhances the colors in the image and I've uploaded a version with the revised background. -Michael

How interesting....again, I would never have thought this was yours. You are always breaking out! I am a little unsure about all the white, as opposed to say gray or tan....but a masterful artistic statement and Interruptation...Traveller
