Wow, the first thing that I can say is...wow!  I've been very occupied with other business over the past year or so, and haven't been on DA for a while now.  When I logged in today and saw that Seaflower was DD'd, my jaw dropped.
Thank you very much to DragonWinter for featuring it, and to everyone for their kind comments and support.  I truly appreciate it!

I'm slowly going through the galleries I once did and still do admire and many more, and am constantly floored by the technical talent and artistic beauty of it all...thanks so much for being a wonderful source of inspiration, everyone.
