great shot! But why, every time I look at this photo , do I think of Dr. Suess? ;-) He's missing a hat.
Congratulations - well deserved. I'm green (eggs & spam oops I mean ham) with envy. Much success. |

| Can you get disqualified for submitting a micro-shot in a macro contest? ;-) |
|
|
|
08/08/2004 08:57:04 PM |
No, no, no this is very poor and totally misses the challenge. No points.
Oh, alright - IT'S GREAT! If there's no ribbon attached to this I'll the bug in my own shot!!
There's a little noise here and the crop is a bit tight at the top but that's all. Looks a bit Wacko to me...
