Thought I would give this image another try. No need to comment, but thanks for looking!!! Hoping the judges will give this a second look!!!

Another capture from this beautiful Dogwood tree. Taken on a very windy day around 4:00pm. Adjusted curves, color, sat, contrast and hue. Slight crop and cloned out small spots. Have a fantastic night!!! *Flowers*

  It's ALWAYS a windy day when flowers or blossoms are being shot. Have you noticed this too? One time there was NO WIND AT ALL I thought OH GOODY! I began to shoot a flower. A breeze picked RIGHT up! OUT OF NOWHERE! Was I surprised? NOPE!

This image is beautiful, Laura and the lighting is so soft! Really a special capture of this lovely dogwood!

  Hello Em!!! Thanks for your wonderful and encouraging comments!!! I do notice that it seems to be windy whenever I try to shoot flowers! I have a hard enough time capturing flowers anyway, but when the wind comes.....EEK! I need to use my tripod more, and I need to upgrade to a better camera too. Well, maybe someday!! LOL! Hope you are having a great week!!! Blessings~~~Laura:)
