  Thanks Carolyn, Cathy and Wendy! This was shot at the Antique Rose Emporium near Independence, Texas. It's a great place to shot flowers because their landscape is so much more than just roses. They have a web site at http://www.weareroses.com/ if you'd like more info.

  Murry you do amazing work. I was browsing your images and just can't believe what you accomplish.

I've learned a lot from watching you.

Guess what? I just ordered the 20 D and a few lenses. Should be here in a few weeks (back ordered--DARN).

Anyway thanks for everything and your helpful comments!
