Her Delicate Nature (inspired by Radu Carp)

The other day, Radu posted a beautiful Macro of the Centre of a

Clematis. It was so lovely. I was telling my husband about it over

breakfast and he said "look over the gate on the deck, there is

something you will really want to take a picture of". I thought he was

talking about an insect, but here was this lovely Clematis that had

somehow crept between the crack in the deck boards. I was amazed

the petals were still perfect. I plan on posting it without layers as well.

But the whole time I was Photographing it, I thought of Radu and all

the beautiful flowers he posts. He somehow has a way of bringing

out the most beautiful depths of colour and detail. I think he is an

inspiration to many of us. (sincere thanks for any visits and thoughts

shared, always grateful, Gail :)

Gail! a nice creat work. best regards janegbert

A wonderful tribute to Radu, certainly.  But you do amazing work as well, and this is a beauty.  

Marvelous, my dear Gail!!

Gail, I agree with Crystals' comment, you've certainly posted some outstanding images of flowers. But I know what you mean, when you think of floral images Radu is certainly one of the first artists that comes to mind and deserving of a tribute like this. Very appropriate and beautiful work my dear friend.

Best, Holger

Superb Gail! Keep on doing this. Its uplifting to us all!

This is a beautiful image and unique too. Good work.

Your thoughts for my flowers work make me feel so good and what can be more delightful than to see a photo message goes to heart of people.I am honored by your words.Clematis is a so beautiful flower indeed and June is in my area the month for this to be bloomed.But this year with extreme hot dry weather I do not know what happened and one of my three Clematis is now in almost Sept. bloomed again,is amazing.I see in back of the garden where is lilac that few branches has flowers.

 I am glad that you have this in you yard and can share us in original your way.

with best thoughts and a splendid fall to be to all of us

Hi Gail,   Excellent.  Your images are quite artistic.  Larry

Thanks so much everyone for your visits. I will be back soon to reply. Kind regards, Gail

Each of you has expressed a personal thought about your enjoyment in the creative process, it's beauty, light, and overall quality. I do appreciate that each one has taken the time to visit and let me know how you felt. Truly thankful, Gail 

That was a lovely quote you included in your critique. I am going to write it down and put in my Journal...sincere thanks for your visit!

It is very hot and humid here, but our clematis is not blooming again. Perhaps it is the location of yours (which direction it faces). But needless to say it is like you are having a second summer! Your images inspire me always to strive to do better Radu

Compliments again for your art and taste, my dear friend!

Always encouraged when you take the time to appreciate one of my compositions!

Again a very pleasing to the eye and souls painting!

I don't especially like and never use pink, Gail, but I sure like and respect your choice of color here!

Best regards

PDE
