Hey, that's our own Sharply Done.  I wish for you it was Istock IOTW Sharply so you could see some nice sales, but nice for your to get the attention from Snap.  Your scrapbook must be getting quite full with all the recognition you have been acheiveing.  Nice work as always.

Yep, that's me - thanks for noticing, pixart!
Funny you should mention IS - they're the only place I submit to that hasn't singled out my stuff ... guess I'll have to go exclusive for even a chance at that ever happening!

Dank je wel!
Graag gedaan  :P
You must have had a lot of patience waiting for the sun to be exactly there, right season and right time of day. Or is it a sunrise?  ::)
