sorry for delay...here are my ups and downs:
UP: sin of excess.lovely colourful shot, i liked it a lot. similar to nick, this brought back a lot of childhood memories too
DOWN: a trifle too much. nice conversion and focus on the eyes. this shot didn't grab me though (sorry dave). maybe it's just because i don't like trifle lol
thanks DD and markgozz for my votes - most appreciated! congrats on your win DD
