  Thank you so very much Susan. I lost my other copy after we chatted, the PC froze. I could not remember everything I did, was so bummed. This one is close though.

  this picture has it all. great color, composition, one of those pictures when you first see it makes you go WOW.
agree with what everyone had to say.
I think the thing I first saw in this picture was the delicate flowers in a wilder inviroment and what would normally be a contract, is a beutiful blend of the wild and tame. Great job.

  Saw this floating in EFP and wanted a closer look. That sky is somehow effective with that stump. Great combination!

  I came across this in EFP too. Extraordinary! The flower composition, with the large front flower so dominant is so effective, as are the colors, as is the sky treatment. All round exceptional.
