	Win, congratulations on posting a picture. Now, do a little work on getting a good light on the subject without using a flash.

	The turtle got away. One of the the frogs holding the turtle up as a target got his arm shot off.

	Glad you got the image thing figured out. I can't ever comment much on pictures as I'm about as bad as anyone at taking them. I do know that outside when it's not too bright out seems to be the best venue.

The frogs are a take off on a 12th century Japanese scroll work, the Choju Giga, the Scrolls of Frolicking Animals. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	The other side of the frog. I am looking for good photos of unusual engraving on the Ballards. I have quite a number, but there are a lot I don't have. Hint: your cell phone can often take fine quality photos. My email is Rowebooks1@gmail.com, phone is 865 207 6026 Tom
