Thanks for the love, & the nice comments scandi, & Bellin.
Thanks for the love, packrat, official, Amber, bottle-bud (nice to see a new face) & trunkman.
I like the pond side backdrop with the cat tails! If it weren't for the chair and studio wall, you'd really think he was out in the wild!

Thanks scot for the comment & the observation, it is unique.
It's better than the standard backdrop you see on so many pictures of the era.
I really like these type of backdrops as well.
The failed attempts to hide the studio setting are some of my favorites.
