Very good indeed...great idea using beaded water for effect.

Congrats!

PDBreske · January 10, 2009, 12:07 PM

Thank you, everyone! I agree this month was tough. It's nice to see all the participation, though. Let's do it again this month!

BanditSRT8 · January 10, 2009, 03:58 PM

Nice shot!

The rest of us never had a chance

PDBreske · January 11, 2009, 08:22 PM

Thanks, Bandit. Personally, I thought your entry was one of the nicest this month. You got robbed.

Wait, what am I saying?!?

I'm thinking of an idea for January's contest. It's going to take me a while to set it up, but I think it will be nice.

I missed that picture, its really nice. Should be over someone's mantle.

**Shane Tuttle** · January 11, 2009, 08:45 PM

The combination of the color choice and use of water in that fashion with darker lighting to provide a rich contrast IMO put your pic over the top.

Very nice. PBP would even be proud, I'm sure...

Very tough month that it was. I didn't enter last year at all but i will monthly in the current year. Very well taken shot I think I may print that out and post it at the gun club if it is ok with you PD

PDBreske · January 13, 2009, 06:55 PM

I'll send you a PM with a link to buy a print.
