Basking in the Light

Beautiful colors and good sharpness. Unusual angle adds interest to the shot. Well done. - Charles

Thadd, my eyes were drawn to this like a magnet. very interesting composition on this well lit beauty. a creative crop that works well. i think just a tad bit more breathing room on right and top would not go amiss. beautiful image, well done.

Beautiful composition, well-balanced and dynamic.

Hi Thadd, this is a very well done picture with lots of details for me to taste. As Roger had said some more room on the right would be an advantage. Also I am not sure about the leave coming up from the bottom. I might try to get the whole of it or without it. Good work and thanks for sharing.

Best wishes Robert.

I like everything about this image.  Great composition and lighting.  The black background really sets the image off.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, gentlemen-

Charles- I'm flattered by your comments....I've seen your work in the highest viewed pictures gallery for flowers, and am an admirer of your work.

Roger- when I did this I KNEW you were going to comment what you did! Trust me when I say it was the most advantageous crop. ( I know I have a winner when you  take the time to comment)

Jim, Robert, Gary-

ALWAYS a pleasure to hear from you!
