  kristi,
I agree with the above, but I found all the lines of light and shadow coming through the flower really neat.
Great job!

  Thanks so much RoB, Terry, Kerby, Robin, Jill, Wendy, Evy, Nan, Darryl, Laura, Dvid, Janine, James, Robert, Mary, Stan, Tina, Susie, Joy, Terry, Guy, Jenny, Amy, Kathleen, Karen, Leanne, Jim, Kay, Mary and Paula, for your wonderful comments on my POTD (and Finalist). The comments really is what makes a win like this so special. They all really do mean a lot to me. It took me a few minutes to figure out why all of a sudden this one pic was getting so many comments...needless to say I was thrilled when I saw "POTD":)

Thanks to the judge/judges who chose From Downunder for POTD. It really is such an honor to win POTD here and it really made my day.
