Duane Carter September 30, 2004

Beautiful, Murry!!!! I love the multiple planes created by the different colors and textures of the plants. I think I prefer the buzzed rendition, because it seems to simplify it. #813800

Mellanie September 30, 2004

I think this is very pretty, Murry! I think the buzzed version is the better of the two, IMO!!! #813818

Murry Grigsby September 30, 2004

Thanks Char, Leanne, Cathy, Duane and Mellanie! I personally like the buzzed version the best also :0) #813846

Wendy M. Amdahl September 30, 2004

Hi Murry! Love the range of colors and textures. I would choose the buzzed version also because it seems to do a great job of grouping each type of flower. Nice work either way! #813888

Greg McCroskery September 30, 2004

Murry,
I hate it when I twist in the shour! Very nice image -- I like the use of focal compression! I see we have a new toy!
God Bless,
Greg
