so i added 'fog' .. not sure if that worked better than without .. :(

OMG Erin .. i feel very humbled that you would ask me that ... as i'm such a great fan of your work .. and you are one of my favourite photogs ..
and when you got that photo of the eagle that had been hanging out in your back yard .. that took my opinion of your photography to a whole other level .. like is there anything this girl cant do .. ?? ..
but i'll answer your question .. get yourself a macro lens .. going by your talent and expertise it will take you very little time to answer that question for yourself .. xx ..

One of my top picks. I love the combination of the high key and the shallow dof. It really creates and other worldly effect.
