The statue of the girl looked so sad, surrounded by such beautiful flowers. The contrast of colors seemed to match the contrast of mood. Ft Worth, Botanical Gardens, Texas BP Photo Shoot.

Richard, nice contrast of colors and mood. Great composition, kind of a sideways rule of thirds. Great shot brother. #2748637

Thank you very much Jeff, Dan, Tammy, Darryl, Shelly and Ken! It was very nice of you all to stop by and help me out with the positive feedback. :)
"Sideways rule of thirds", hmmm, might have to use that one again Dan.
And, yes, Ken I hope to learn even more photo skills from "the master" & other masters such as yourself... #2758623

Richard, this is excellent! The cold blue stone and sad look in opposition to the cheerful warm colored flowers creates tension and holds the viewer's interest. The compositional and DOF choices you made are equally well done. All attention is focused exactly where it needs to be. Great image! #2834220
