The eye catching pattern really draws you in visually and the soft color contrasts beautifully with the sharp points at the end of each petal. Lovely light and great title too! I LOVE this, Carol!!!

I love seeing how many of God's creations are reminiscent of fractals. Although I like the color and various shadings of this image, it would work in any color because of the repetitive curved pattern of the petals. Nice presentation.

8/27/2005 3:37:01 AM

Congratulations, Carol, this is so lovely!
