That's a gorgeous photo Gob, and how nice you are a bit famous for it! :ok

Fabulous! I prefer this shot to the one in the OP.

OK, I will admit I am jealous. I worked part time in a photo lab while I was in the US Army in Germany. I was shooting on my on, about 25 rolls of 120 BW film through a rollie, plus another 10-20 rolls of BW and color 35mm thru a Contax every month. I really wanted to become a pro photographer. Eventually I learned I had no talent.

So congratulations on your sale.

It looks to me like the most recent photo IS the one in the OP.

Great job, Gob. Photography should be your next career.

It's cropped differently. The sun pops more in the photo posted today (to my eye, anyway).

Good eye, nice composition. Any background noise cropped out?

Ohhhh, I didn't see the "light" until I clicked on the photo that was included in the brochure. Then all the shadows lined up. Then I made the original smaller on my screen it made sense too. Nice shot.

I'm not familiar with cork oak. I had to google it to find out that it's where wine bottle stoppers come from.

Nice picture. I always said that the key to success for you was to put a cork in it.

There you go.
