i like the treatment, akos. well done. the original crop gives it more tension. denise's version is more traditional and works nicely. just depends on what you were trying to convey. either way is fine with me!
Dave, thanks bud; next round I'll be kickin' ...... however, I was up for most of last night (had one and a half hours' sleep) working on FLIPS for next week's theme. Hope they will rock ya!
Very nice Akos, I like your light flower with the dark BG and the radial blur looks great here. I might crop from the bottom, but just a little less than D has done.
