Just got back from DC so I had no time or decent light for pictures. However, having seen your latest posts I know I could not have duplicated your efforts. Maybe I'll try on Feb 28/ March 1.

Is there really some blue in there, or is it simply the way the light / flash is reflected? Either way - it looks so amazing.
Thanks for sharing these close-ups.
