Beautiful images, the TBO looks like a stained-glass window! :D Superb, crisp, vivid and 'alive' with colour! Great job Rod. :D

Thanks guys.

The stain really took hold strongly, quite deep and rich.

Super results. Very beautiful, as everyone said. And it is not that you merely put a drop of water on a slide and click the camera shutter to get them.
