Code:
RewriteRule .*exquisiteangelz.gif$ /images/recips/exquisiteangelzrecip.gif [L]
This rule will match anything that ends with exquisiteangelz.gif As a consequence, it will also match /images/recips/newexquisiteangelz.gif. So, if you were going to do it, you should rename your recip as exquisiteangelzrecip.gif which wouldn't match the rewrite rule.
