I don’t know if it adds anything, but I’m fine with the hind of green in the background, Bill. Beautiful image. Send some of that rain our way-we’ve had to start watering already on the wet side of the “Evergreen” state.

Dripping with beauty and class!! I love the subtle detail in the BG and always prefer a little hint of something there, although sometimes it just has to be plain black.

Just gorgeous, and I love the mottled BG when it’s possible - and this is perfect.
