Lol, spot on - no recollection at all )
Really like the shiny finish achieved; great contrast and bold composition.

Learning the modelling ropes well!

wonderful

a lovely image

A very, very recent unfurling judging by the petal dimples.

The years go fast don't they? I'm struck by how well all the verticals are plumb - a feature of this GR model, or adjusted in post. The haze/smoke has also given the floodlights extra presence - nice.

very nice framing and lovely light

lovely light

I like the angle of her head much more here, especially if I magnify the view in the original. The quality of finish isn't quite up to that of your DIC choice, but it is close.

Crikey, no missing this one. Ripper!! It seems like I could reach forward and feel her fur if I rubbed her nose on my screen. The GRiii screams quality again.
Coming back after a couple of switcheroos - you chose right for posting

As for the rattler, well done on using Kim as a shield (it's a bit like those surfers you noted the other day lol)
