Hi Del, Nice one! Hope we are going to see this up at the club soon. Is this a keeper or made for some lucky punter?  ;D
Hi Allan, I hope to shoot it on Sunday.
This one's a keeper, as I find I don't actually have any of my best work myself!

Boy oh boy Del...those last shots of the belly are so stunning.  What a gorgeous piece of work and what a wonderful job you did at bringing out it's best.  Cheers!

what a great bow.  Must have been many challenges along the way making her.  Glad you did it and shared it with us.
