Rose of Sharon - Shadow Box

Tried a little something different......comments welcome...

Very elegant and romantic image...wonderful! Great job, Gail....Best regards

 

Gail-

 

A little different and very effective....and totally feminine. This would make a beautiful greeting card - just substitute "Happy Birthday" or "Thinking of You..." or "Happy Mother's Day" for Rose of Sharon and voila! The framing is so delicate, and while very intricate, you have kept it from becoming overpowering or distracting. Its laciness is a beautiful complement to and contrast with the solid mass of the flower. The lighting is delightful - like spring sunshine - and the simple, restrained color palette really allows the viewer to enjoy all the details without being overwhelmed by too much visual stimulation. "Sorry" - but, as excellent work I must rate this accordingly - and I'm adding it to my faves album!

Thankyou for your visit and encouraging words of critique. Always a pleasure to see you have taken the time to encourage and inspire.

Your kind words, and constructive critique are a welcome sight. I am glad you liked the image. These blossoms are so beautiful....I can hardly wait until they open in the summer. Enjoy this Easter weekend and it's many blessings to be found with your family and friends. We truly are fortunate.....even to be able to correspond in this way. thanks again for taking the time to pose a few lines of encouragement., sincerely,Gail
