 Thanks y'all. Some sort of poet took the picture, and some sort of carpenter.
I may be installing a 'wall of shelves' there. After I've done my little survey and chatted with clients I usually take a reference picture to jog my memory a week or two down the road... She's not necessarily supposed to even be in the picture, but she was so made up about the project she obviously couldn't keep away:)
Oh, Grog, she was sharing her excitement with a similarly female partner, so we're not looking at a huge crop of younglings right away...
My own favourite thing about this really is that there is no set-up involved...

ha! I love that face she's making. This whole scenario has an amazing irony to it, dripping with metaphor. It's like a poet took this picture.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: An usual FS offering to be sure but it does have plenty of story to offer. What a lot of work there is to do here....! And by all accounts she seems happy about it too.

Critical stuff: Given the eye is drawn to the lady on the right of the image. I'd have ensured that the vertical line at the far right of the image was brought into square.

Overall: Not particularly high impact but a fun (and unusual) offering nonetheless.
