I am pleased to say that I have finally gotten an image accepted in the PPG. Hopefully, it won't take as long to get number 2 in.

Congratulations on the accepted entry, sawtooth! I can very easily see why this one would be chosen : beautiful and sharp subject to start, absolutely wonderful colouring in the rear end, and some nice and warm bokeh to finish it off.

A top rate shot and I'm sure you will soon have another entry if you keep up the work like this.

Thanks, ESC. The color is what attracted me to this one.

Thank you, even though I have thought that some of my earlier attempts were better.

And I didn't do hardly any PP, just a tad of sharpening.
