I'm not happy with the background. If you look closer, you'll notice the blurry window in the background. Despite my efforts, I couldn't get a perfect shot. #3568678

Paul E. Earl November 10, 2006

It's funny how we as the photographer see things we don't like in our own images when nobody else probably notices.
I think it looks fantastic and the background looks fine! #3568707

Donna Roberts November 10, 2006

Goodness me Suzy - the presentation of these beautiful blooms is amazing.
I love the way they are crisp and the background is out of focus.
Excellent work my friend.

Nadya Johnson November 10, 2006

Gorgeous, Susana! I agree with Paul, we always see the slightest flaws in our own work which can be both a blessing and a curse. It makes me think of Van Gogh. One theory is, he had such poor eyesight he saw haloes everywhere he looked. Yet, those haloes "make" many of his paintings. So the question is, were they accidental or deliberate?? If deliberate, ART. If an accident... oh well! So, just say things are deliberate! lol. As for your background I thought it was. The photo is spectacular! #3570414

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna November 10, 2006

Susana, This is sooooo unequivocally GORGEOUS!!!! The window in the backgorund does not take away from the image, in fact I think it adds to it. Before I read that the window was back there I thought it was INTENDED shading!!!! We are our own worst critics. In my opinion this is a WINNER!!!!!!!!!!! ^.^ Kitty #3570610

Judyann Plante November 10, 2006
