Very clever use of the out of focus background to give depth and context. Excellent image.

@Andrew Gould: Thanks Andrew. It's refreshing to read something positive about this lil ole image. I copped a fair amount of shit over it at the AM3 forum site, where I stated that I had used a 'personal signature style' . Admittedly, the brunt of criticism was from the site's co-ordinator who couldn't grasp the concept I was aiming for with the composition (I think 'distracting' and 'background' were two words at the front of the queue of complaints). Personally, I think it tells more than first glance would reveal and has the added benefit of being a hand-held macro shot.
Again, I thank you for the positive feedback for this particular image. cheers. :D
