  Thank you Karrel and Kathleen. I shot an identical piece last year but did not like the lighting. Thought I'd try again.

  What a great idea Ron - extremely well thought out and executed! Very creative - especially with the yellow crayon pointing at the yellow rabbit as the 'odd one out' in the 'sea' of pink ones! Sincere conrat's on your First Place win with it back in February of this year - very well deserved! :~)
