Wow! That's beautiful, Jacques. I wish my mistakes could be as imperseptible as yours, cause my untrained eye can't find even one in your photo. Good work and thanks for posting.

Jacques, I like it! very well balanced and intresting. The only thing i noticed is the first scroll to the left is not like the others but it still blends in pretty good. very nice job. D.DOUGLAS
