Thank you Colette, Rakesh, Deb, Shelly and Chris for your great comments. I really wanted a shot of the pins falling during a strike. The timing was very difficult with my camera. That is why I decided to turn off the flash and take a longer exposure. This was the best I could do. Anyway, glad you like it!!!! #2298865
