Thanks Brenda.Sorry about your headache...Hope you feel better soon...

Okay...I like Simon's second,and the color on Sheila's.It looks better to me,too,'upping' the red.Richard's is beautiful,too,but way too high key for me...Then again,that is what you asked for...Andreas' is a bit too sharp for my taste...but there's a really nice crop in there,that is high key,if that is what you want...

I love doing these close crops...It just appeals to my eye more when the focus is on the diagonal,and the shapes get to repeat themselves.On the other hand,I can 'work' something to death,lol.I'm still a 'honeymooner' with photoshop,I guess,LOL! ;^)

So, this is my crop,and a bit of postwork,before I got 'carried away'!It is by no means,'done' in my eyes,at this point...

Marlene :^)

PS-The reason I started playing with it,was because after I cropped it,I wanted a heavier shadow on the right...That's how I ended up with so many versions of this,lol!
