I have been CCD imaging for a few years, but have yet to shoot many of the showpieces. So I figured that I would give this one a try. It proved difficult to process and I have agonized over it for a couple of weeks now. I did some things that I wouldnt normally consider while processing an image in regards to color. Although I took a little artistic licence in managing the color, I like the result. Well, for now anyway. 8)

Thoughts, comments appreciated.
