Cheers Troy and as I have said about your (incredible) images lately, magenta is over lambasted by way too many and rather unjustifiably so

Congrats on the DM's and I hoped your Stella Riches shot would win as it was my favourite of the finalists ...of course with Mr Malin and his interesting ideas on some things, you can never tell....

Mike
