Not wanting to hijack your thread here Mike, (I love this image btw) but as a relative newbie to this community, I agree with Rick's comment.
Further, maybe it's just me but it seems a bit futile for us all to be photographing the same objects and processing them to get what largely appear to be the same/similar results. Yes the technical challenge is it's own reward for some - but bringing something creative and new (ie: Rick's latest Veil image) is surely just as if not more worthwhile - albiet not necessarily popular with the purists!
