Magnificent, and more so because of your brilliant background enhancement. Wonderfully accomplished. This could NOT have been easy--or else it was so easy that we wouldn't believe it. #10845242

You've done a masterful job here, Mike, with color, detail, and background. #10845328

I really love the color, not an easy capture, incredible Mike! HTD! #10845691

Beautiful, Mike. I love the way the sapphire blue works with the emerald green - jewel tones for sure. #10846390

Thanks for the comments! This was actually easier than one would think. When I used the auto color function in PS, the background color changed to a somewhat purple color. I just changed the hue to more of a blue color. I also did some straightening, cropping, sharpening and worked with the lighting a bit. #10846701
