Laura, I'm glad you like this photo. Thanks for visiting my entries and leaving comments. I thought I made it too dark with the burn tool; therefore, hearing your comments makes me feel better. #1508219

Aloha e Lani. Beautiful shot of this haku lei and this year I didn't walk around the park as I did last. I just wish they would find a better way of displaying all of the lei contest winners as they are all just remarkable creations, but difficult to shoot :-(!
Aloha no,

Lani, this is really lovely ~ the flower colors are so rich, and the texture of the straw hat beautifully defined.
The shaded lighting and your choice of cool green background give this the restful feeling that "Hawaii" conjures up for people. Fine work! #1562195
