Lisa- Marvelous creative and talented work. such a unique look at the inward parts of a plant. Love the originality of making it the main focus of the picture. We see them in plant shots, but never as a center of focus. the colors and details are just sensational. Lighting and clarity superb.
Stunning work here girl.
Have a most wonderful day, take care, be safe. #5510153
