I don't even think it's for sale. It's more a work of art. We have quite a few pieces done with the same attention to detail on display currently. BTW, this was shot in a display in our main rotunda through glass. Hand-held with my D7000, ISO 100, f/5.6 and 1/40 105 Micro Nikkor, with VR turned on. The blue background is actually the sky over the Pacific Ocean. The white below is white quartz crystals. On Nov 3, 2010, at 10:30 PM, WiltW@xxxxxxx wrote: > Thanks, Eric.
