No me habia fijao antes que era tu foto Carlos, Enhorabuena!!!! Impresionante foto y muy buena idea.

Tambien deciros que hay otro de Sevilla, aunque lo de Valdelagrana me pilla un poco lejos desde donde vivo actualmente.

Abrazos y a ponernos las pilas para conseguir el "Ribbon Serrano" :)

Sorry to hear of your DQ, Robert. It tastes a little bitter getting the ribbon by a fellow photographer DQ. Your pic's great anyhow.

I was happy with the 4th, just imagine now.

Gracias otra vez, Arancha. I'll PM you and Ozzy next time I'll go to Valdelagana to buy y'all some beers to celebrate. Southern Spain GTG coming its way... for the only three of us 'round here ;-)

Edit: I have to improve my English spelling, I have to improve my English spelling, I have to improve my English spelling...

WOW, I'm sooooo happy with this honorable mention, I still cannot believe my eyes :D I never thought it will ribbon and got so close ;)!! I'll try to do it that little bit better next time so I got it.

Thank y'all for your votes and specially for your comments, I truly appreciate your time.

The history behind... Found the razor at my sister's home by chance. The hard part then was getting the blade, as the razor alone couldn't have seen as meeting the challenge. Being something so old I guess many of us will not know what it actually was... Me myself had to think twice what it was when I first saw it. I'll return the razor together with a framed print to my sister and share with her this amazing time.

Staged it on my desk with a black cardboard, a desk halogen lamp diffused with a plastic mat and spotted the blade with a "hand-screened" torch so only the blade was lightened.

Carlos.

PS: Gracias, Arancha!
