Lee - this is stunning work. The detail here is simply exquisite and the symmetry adds a dynamic to the image. I take my hat off to you sir and offer you a meagre Fav in recompense for the joy this image has afforded me.
Wonderful symmetry here. Love it and such an interesting story too. So awful that the plaques have been stolen. Hope they can be recovered. Are the two plaques on either side of this photo similar to the missing ones?
