on neil if u do want to submit this to another challenge somewhere as your post in the thread suggests...i say wow (1st), and go for it second...this can not be beat....and then i ask how did u ever do it...
really a pretty, impressive, and jaw dropingly pretty impressive shot.
good luck with it in what ever challenge u submit it too-
very nice bubble, though i might have chosen a different crop to keep it out of the middle of the frame... i'd have given it at least an 8 though... i like the colors...
