I like this a lot, Mitch. Very nice effects--the buzz on the building blocks and, I think, pipe but not on the fresh little daisies is very nice. Great colors and vertical composition, too.

Thanks, Dave, Steve, Colette, Kitty, Michelle, and Nikki. That little bit of summer surely looks pretty good about now, doesn't it? Ah, I guess we'll survive the rest of February and March.

This image just lets me know that mother nature will not be stopped! Wonderful image Mitch, with awesome effects and the lighting is amazing!

2/21/2008 8:56:57 PM

Erika, Pat, and Sandi--thank you, thank you. I don't often photograph flowers, but when I do, I'm always drawn to them as a whole, and often not as closeups of parts of them, which I see much more often, so I'm especially pleased that others find these sometimes interesting as well.
