After my first casting attempt I did a second so now is the time to show off the failures or is it successes you decide. The first was not how I expected it to turn out but the second was not far from what I expected. Still have lots to learn. The wife loves the second one.

I like them both Derek, I would call the first one 'Re-entry' and the second 'Red Sea' :thumbs:

Preferring the red one extraordinary colour mixing Derek the first one emphasises the bottom half that is superb.

Derek the second is better than the first but the first is pretty awesome. I really like the look of more white fading to more red. Can't wait to see more.
