   I’d call it a pedicure check, but it all boils down to the same thing. Very unusual shot and very well done.

     Thanks, Gary. Technically, of course, it is a foot, but the pose reminded so much of how I have seen ladies sometimes looking at their painted nails, that I decided to go with “manicure.” The curious juxtaposition of words may also have caused folks to pause a moment on the posting, which is generally a good thing.
