Nice one Steve, the colours look great.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but when I open the image on your site I cannot find a way to see it in full resolution?

Thanks Andrew and Rolf! Rolf, the link should link you to my Zenfolio page. The dimensions of the image is 2628 x 2354, the largest size I am allowed to load in Zenfolio.
Thanks again for looking!
Happy holidays,
Steve

Thanks Steve, yeah I see it in Zenfolio but only fitting on screen with thick black margins. I don't see a way to view it in full resolution and scroll around it?

Zenfilio is not good for pixel peeping...
Someday I may transfer everything to SmugMug.

Rolf! Here is the high res image! I guess I never paid much attention to posting other than what is on the home site.
