Great entry, Daniel. I really enjoyed your own thread on the manipulation of digital photos.
Fun for all people that like raw and flashing colors (once in a while).

That Rebutia is like a flash into the eye, Daniel.

The Lightenbergia/ Leuchtenbergia was done by a guy from Sheffield , UK- its great isn´t it?
Look up some more entries for a similar topic in the british forum here

It has been "cryogenically preserved for the future". I thought I'd give it a little wrap as well.
