Wet

Just after a rain, was the perfect time for my neighbor Marg, to invite

me to enjoy her garden and take some photos if I wanted. I was

there for hours. Glorious late afternoon, the smell and warmth of the

earth, and one of the most lovely collections of early Spring Flowers

for my 'willing subjects'. The only thing that could be a problem was

if the wind came up. It's nearly always windy where we live on top of

a hill in Peterborough, but the wind didn't disturb me too much.

Fortunately my battery died, and it was way past Suppertime. But

hopefully I'll be invited back on another beautiful day. Her garden is

her great 'love', about in line with her lovely Watercolor Paintings.

(Thanks for dropping by, Gail)

This is different and very original close up with very rich details and very vivid colors, the yellow and orange work superbly together to form a remarkable well studied macro and of very high quality presentation finishing.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Hello,

I've not been online for a bit, my Son's birthday yesterday. My sweet little blonde babe is now 32, I remember being 32 as if it were yesterday....If I'd only been taking photos so much back then, but I truly did not have the time, so busy being a Mom.....but now I can and I enjoyed trying to take this shot, a tripod would have been helpful. Your kind critique is so appreciated, and I look forward to talking to you again soon,

Sincerely, Gail

This is a great close-up that you see well and shared with us!...The details are very eye-catching and the drops showed as well as possible.The tonality and texture are very great and the petals are very well,too.You choose a great frame for your shot!...Best regards(Bobby).

Once more you give me wonderful encouragement as you critique Bobby, this is a 'gift', to inspire and instill in me the continual interest to better myself and increase in knowledge and skills in my Photography. Thankyou for your presence her on PN and for taking an Interest in my work.
