Just to keep things simple (choosing between 1 or 2) - I definitely like the first one better (leave it to me to go against the grain). After all, it's not a shot of rocks, and the softening doesn't destroy the "rock environment" - it's still there without competing for attention (although, if the rocks are fighting for attention, maybe you need some additional help from a complete team of psychological experts!) Either way - I'm gonna have trouble getting to sleep tonight! Simply a gorgeous shot! A cross between seductive, submissive, untamable, mischievous, wild and tame - did I leave anything out? Wolf
