Do I need specs?
the our of focus moss hurts and I am not sure the stone is in focus. However, I like the placement and the colour contrast. The leaves also help. I wonder if this would have worked better in sharp focus or if played around with in photoshop could create a good piece of art?

Iv'e seen your work and i live it, but i'm sorry I bloody hate this. Please forgive me, as I say your other work is real sweet!

Matsuoka Taiji 17-Jan-2003 at 18:16Is this the new version?
From memory, it does not seem to be so. Glad you thought the comment worthwhile and I hope the result was too. To JR: the sanguinary reference is a little unnecessary don't you think?

Sorry for being too late, and I uploaded new version.
Matsuoka Taiji 27-Jan-2003 at 07:27I still like it
but I still find it distractingly out of focus. That may of course be the effect of the texture of the stone as the greenery seems more in focus. I do have an eye test tomorrow!
