this work is expressed in a most beautiful and caring way; imagine for a moment that we see this image and know nothing of how it was made; is not the care taken to produce it obvious; indeed, there is a passionate craftsman behind it! #268190

You have created a beautiful composition with subtle lighting and dazzling colors..I like these flowers against the black background, as well, Michael!!! #3234040

Thank you so much! I sold an 11x14 version of this to a former coworker, also named Melissa. I printed this at home on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper and had it framed under a black matte with a suede texture and in a black lacquer frame. This had the effect of enlarging the surrounding area and the whole composition seems to float in a dark universe. My friend's reaction to it is something I'll never forget nor will I forget yours or Michael Khoury's. #3234139

I can not seem to take my eyes away from this image, Michael. I am drawn to the beautiful simplicity of these lovely callas. An image to take your breath away! #3791343

Thank you,Laurie! It's one of my favorites, too. I use it for my "signature" photo as it's very much the kind of work I want to be known for. #3791634

Thank you so much, Wendy! High praise is always welcome, but coming from someone who's images are as strong and artistic as yours are, is a greatly appreciated. Mike #4741572
