Bob, So sorry my first entry has disappointed you. Truth is, this photo will never hold meaning for anyone but me. Or perhaps parents. Especially those who've had to see one of their children laying cold and stiff in a coffin. I also have one of my son in his. I'll post this too. But I won't be reading any reviews on it. As for trees and shadows, you're probably right, nothing earth shattering here. Which is why I knew ahead of time that I would have to add my comments to the submission. Keep reviewing. Now I am challenged. You 'will' appreciate my work before I am through! : o Shyrell On Sun, 11 May 2003 08:41:13 +0100 Bob Talbot <BobTalbot@st-abbs.fsnet.co.uk> writes: > The PhotoForum member's gallery/exhibit now on display > > > Shyrell Melara - "Never More" > > http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/melara.html > > OK.
