Flowers don't talk much. Once they open up, though, they often have alot to say.

You're right, Dan! Their appearence do the talking. This photo is truly outstanding because of the clarity, lighting, colors and the wonderful BG! This one is a masterpiece, Dan! Best shot to start a new month! I LOVE IT!

  You're right, Dan. I can tell this gerbera had beautiful stories to tell you. I love your work; your flowers, your abstracts, your benches, your doors and windows, your stairs, and I am sure they all talk to you, but I bet among all the flowers, gerberas are your best friends. This is a great example of the secret language between photographer and subject and you've been able to translate all that beauty into a wonderful picture. Great shot, Dan!

  Dan, Dan ~ you've done it again...you've taken an already gorgeous pastel-petalled flower, and raised it to some new and special level with the black background, the light, the clarity...
What a talent.
