Tess- I think these beauties would be a wonderful addition to any garden.
When I pull up a picture in someone's gallary, I judge it, not that I'm anywhere near an expert, on does it draw me in right way, what is it that holds my attention and makes me want to study it, to marvel at it. With this one here that you have, the first thing that drew me in was the intense, beautiufl colors that are so vivid and right behind that my eyes focused on the water drops. Now I have done flowers with water drops on them, but you have this incredible way of making them stand out as a feature all their own. Their intensity adds another dimention to the picture. I love how your focus is on the drops and the beauty of the flowers or what ever the drops are on is actually the background for the drops. This is such a fasinating study.
Phenominal work my friend. You take care, take some time to enjoy the weekend. #7985043

Tess L. Yee September 26, 2009 0

Thank you Janet, Max, and Frank...I really appreciate the super comments!
