But it does look like a nice floorplate.
Lee, it looks great, but makes me anxious for a larger photo. I know there's more great detail to see!

Nice work, Lee.
(As always)
I concur and sympathize about the photography. I am very envious of those (Sam comes to mind) who have the lighting thing all figured out.
Photography is very hard for me and I harbor mixed emotions...I need to learn how to take better pictures of my work but that takes time away from the engraving bench.

That's very nice. I hope I can fine one like that here in another month and a half. Seems like all I find on public ground are the cows, spikes and rag horns. Thanks for sharing with us. Seth
This floorplate is quite domed which makes it a bit tricky to photograph. I also notice that because of the dome and being photographed at an angle some of the scrolls are foreshortened and appear out of round in the photos. Methinks the head of Mr. Elk needs some attention. That is what happens when it's put on a computer at about 100x. Viewing with the naked eye is much easier on the ego.

Lee, as I looked over the floorplate, I notice that it was domed and not the scrolls being out of round.
That's what good photography does...you've nailed this one twice:
1.)The photograph is very good
2.) The engraving is as good as it gets!
Nice....Very,very nice.

Lee, glad to see you have all the bugs worked out and are getting some serious scroll work done! That is awsome and as always your scene is...the good words get used up way to much, but you get the drift. Good on you.

It's beautiful Lee. I especially like the border around the elk - it looks very 3-D. 
Lee,
I like you revised pictures very much, thank you.
And the combination of the oak leaves with the other scroll is a nice touch.
This should have some lucky owner very happy.
Best.

Lee,
Really nice work! Putting them on the computer and looking at them will definitely reveal the spots that need attention (at least that's what I have found). Like John B, I like the oak leaves intermingled with the scroll...nice touch!
Don't know if you do it routinely but on the bigger jobs I click a few pics at the end of each day's work & then throw them on the computer & enlarge 'em. It gives a really close-up look at the work & adjustments can be made as necessary.
Thanks again for sharing your fine work,
Weldon
