Thanks, Shutter. As soon as I noticed these gentlemen talking, that's the exact goal I had in mine: putting a positive spin on things! Too much negativity in our day to day, and while there are certainly things to be upset about in the world, you have to count your blessings too...and laugh a little.

Good old Nashville!

My criticism of this shot is that there just isn't enough clarity in anything to direct the viewer. On the other hand, it's a vibrant, festive image and certainly speaks to the challenge.
