Shot at Mercer Gardens in Houston, Texas. For some reason this one reminds me of those 2000 piece picture puzzles.

  Great shot, Murry!! The purple is intense. That background would make for a mean puzzle, though!

  Yep...that background would have me involved in a very time intensive game! A nice shot indeed...looks like a lily, is it not? Good luck with it!

  Love how the purples tones in those leaves in the background are matching the flower petals, Murry. But if you don’t mind my honesty, I think it would be better to crop this image a bit from the right, to the edge of the brighter leaf, so this beautiful flower would be placed more on the side of this image. But it’s still a very nice image, Murry, by those colors here which I like it a lot!

Thanks Ellen, Stephen, Monika and Adilson :0) Thanks for the suggestion Monika. I'm always pleased when someone thinks enough of one of my photos to take the time to offer constructive criticism. I always hate to crop very much since my camera is only 3.2 megapixels but here is the cropped version. What do you think?

  Hey Murry, I like the cropped version better!

Monika Sapek
  Oh, yes, Murry, I like this image even more now. Nice crop ;-). You see the first version of this image leaves the flower almost in the center with a little too much empty space on the right, but here it is much better. I know what you mean saying about the cropping. Even now having more megapixels from my new camera, I don’t like cropping my images also ;-).

  Hi Murry!
I like the first one but the second one really has a pop to it! In the edited version I like the off-center feel it gives it! Great colors!
Have a great day!
Michelle

  Both shots are lovely Murry but I prefer the cropped version with the flower slightly off center.. beautiful colours! Don't feel so bad with the 3.2mp as mine has just 2! One of these days I hope to be up there with the big guys :)

  Awesome capture Murry!!! And, I love both, but the cropped version is a bit better, brings out the flower more, and those colors are stunning!!!! Just love this image a lot!!!! I rarely crop too but this definitely works!!!!
