  Dolores outstanding job here. I like that you done BW and the way you composed was very creative. I love how the lighting brings out the detail in the petals. Good luck with this great image.

  So well done AGAIN, Dolores. I think I'd be really surprised if you came up with an average looking picture! I agree with all the nice comments. Well composed, good choice of b&w. Good luck in the competition- not that you need it...the nice words you gace Annika, which match you too.

  You're so sweet, Mette! Thank you! Oh trust me...I not only have "average" images...I have some downright ugly ones! I appreciate your sweet comments on my image.

HI Gary! I'm so delighted you like it! The sun was nice and bright that day and gave me the perfect backlighting I needed. I rather like this one myself~~ Again, your kindness is immensely appreciated!
