Beautiful Melissa...I do find that "cloudy" does provide a certain amount of warmth. Wonderful full floral Melissa :-) #1022300

Another beautiful capture of these flowers, Melissa. AWB doesn't work well on my camera, especially indoors. What type of lighting was actually available? #6655307Bill Knaps October 25, 2008 0

Melissa- Well its impossible for me to pick which one I like the best. So its a tie, their both the best. Same fasinating look and full frame of gorgous colors, fasinating shapes and designs of the petals. Lighting excellent. Think you have two winners on your hands.Ray Thoms October 25, 2008 0
