Nice composition, Kim!

Have you turned your flower patch into an entire botanical solar system? There's the sun (flower) in the center, surrounded by 10 orbiting planets -- and even astoriods out there the deep space. Oh, Man. Spring can't get here soon enough! --jim

Thanks, Igor. Jim, I noticed when I took the shot, these flowers and buds had very interesting forms. I took a number of shots of them. I hadn't noticed that they resembled a solar system, which is why YOU come up with those creative ideas all the time and I don't!! :)

Very nice work, Kim. Just standing out there in space. . . .

Thanks, Lannie. Went out today and got some more wildflower shots. I can't believe how many different kinds there are!

OK -- your '3 uploads without out intrusion from Ken' is nearly expired.

I'm waiting, Ken....

An unusual point of view and original vision : the effect is really aesthetic. I like very much this picture.

Thanks, Syl. I was pleased with the way the flowers popped out when I darkened the background.

Darkened the background to bring out the flowers. Thought it made

for a real 3-D effect. Comments?

I love this one too!

Thanks, Robert. Almost looks like they are floating on black water, which is why it appealed to me when I darkened the background.

This is a very unusual floral presentation. It made me stop and look to see what was going on. Very nicely done. Would love to see other flowers with such a treatment.

William, I often use this technique when I have a busy background - it seems to make the flowers stand out more without foliage detracting. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
