Thanks a bunch, guys!!!!!! i'll try a thicker frame! Noeline, he saw me takin' pictures of him and was just being silly! another question...i wanna put this one in my gallery. do ya'all think it would look better if i cropped it even more...like i did in my thumb? kemal said he loves it just the way it is. i'm not so sure. that globe doesn't do a lot for me...whatcha think?
