Wow! Terrific macro capture, Don! Very different and creative shot of something that most of us would ignore!!! I really like this one! Very well done, my dear friend! #199748

Jean Crombie December 28, 2004

Interesting subject, nicely done! #999640

Marcie A. Fowler December 28, 2004

Great concept and well executed. How'd you get it to spray without getting a finger in the pic?? Very creative subject matter as well! #999683

Cathy Gregor December 28, 2004

Very cool shot, Donald!

Great capture, Donald, I love the effects. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan #999720

Donald K. Cherry December 28, 2004

Thanks so much, Sanjay, Jean, Marcie, Cathy and Murry!

Marcie, I actually depressed the nozzle with a small piece of metal and then cloned it out in Photo Impact..lol. The tricky part was depressing the nozzle with one hand, while trying to compose the shot with the other hand since I didn't have a tripod available and didn't want to ask a co-worker to aid and abiet! #999725

Donald K. Cherry December 28, 2004

Thank you too, Allan...you must have sent your comment as I was writing my previous reply and they crossed in cyberdom! #999732
