 I knew this was a long stretch for surreal but I always liked this so this archival challenge was finally the opportunity to put it into DPC records

hey Margaret.. the competition was fierce .. I love that you got on the front page with this ..
it was one of my favs ..
the thought of surfing the clouds .. which may not have been your intention .. greatly appealed to me .. like being so free and also almost touching heaven ..
beautiful .. :)

this is incredibly cool .. loving it .. the smoothness of the water .. its like you have taken us into another dimension .. where the physical world doesnt operate like it does here ..
i love your surfer and the beautiful waves .. they look almost like clouds ...
this is magic .. :)

ps .. i personally would love this even more if there wasnt the detail in the waves just behind the surfer .. instead a continuation of the cloud look .. but thats just my personal opinion .. doesnt change the 9 i'm giving you .. :)

I'm glad you didn't enter this into "blur". I may not have won that one if you had!
