  You and that 5D Mark II, what a team!

I haven't had a lot of time to peruse lately, so I decide tonight to give BP a whirl, and I land on your gallery, and sure enough, another beautiful image. Ken, you are a fine-art cranking machine!

  The top one is so real that it's hard to remember it's not possible to actually touch all the textures. If this doesn't end up way on the top this month, it will be shocking.
