Description

I'm not sure why it took me so long to image this object, but it's a nice one. It fit nicely into a two panel mosaic, so I spent a few nights grabbing some time on it.

In processing, I ended up leaving it fiery red because when my normal color normalization techniques yielded a very brown result and I couldn't process it to a more pleasant color. It's been awhile since I left an image red, so this is a nice change of pace.
