This is fabulous, Val! White is so challenging and you have managed to capture it with such glorious detail and texture - the exposure is perfect and I love the off-center composition! Very stunning and striking! Back from visit with family in Montreal...catching up...loved "au naturel" because it was, and longneck (wonderful comp) and Blushed is simply gorgeous! Wish I could do flowers even half as well as you! #9493504
