I missed last nights Stan ????!!!!! So I am very pleased to see these glorious blooms.
Love the contrast between the dark background and the petals which are aflame with colour.

Stanley J. Contrades April 08, 2005

Thank you all very much for your positive comments and reinforcement for which I am truly grateful. I pulled this very quickly because it appeared very flat and lacked any sort of luster for some reason! Just a little boost, as Dan mentioned, in the saturation did the job and brought out the yellow from the overhead lighting. Donna, Mary, Carla, Sanjay, Judy, Paul, Donald, Janet, Tom, Tammy, Cathy, Dado, Wally, Jill, Stacey, Charlene, Jim, Karen, Deborah, michelle, bill, Shelly, Claudia, Ann, Kathleen, Dan, Marsha, Roger, and Stan, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes out to all of you!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
