Gail this is sensational. I can feel the sun on my face when I look at this. It is pure magic. I also like your choice of frame.

Thank you all for taking the time to write a few encouraging words...always a welcome sight when I log on...wondering if I managed to convey the image as intended. We learn so much by just viewing each others' work....and often an image can brighten our day. Thanks again for your positive input!! sincerely, Gail

It caught my eye immediately - very well done - a beautiful image.

Thankyou Tony for your critique and I appreciate your 'eye'....it'll keep me...'keep on-keep'in on'......cheers, Gail

Beautifully composed, cropped processed and presented. You work is developing wonderfully Gail and is always a pleasure to see.

What a nice surprise to log on and see your kind words of encouragement.....that's what Photo.Net is, and should be all about...appreciating each other's craft....and encouraging the creative talents we all possess........I'm so glad you find this piece a continuing improvement. It certainly is an interesting "journey". Cheers, for now, Gail

Beautiful light , elegant flower and matching frame. If possible I would have avoided the stamen touching the frame on the right side.

Yeh.....will have to fix that .... I may do a second version of this one so I'll be sure not to overlook that. thank you for your kind words Tibi.

Hello Gail. A wonderful image here. My personal taste would leave the stamen where it's at. It's perfect in composition. And again...the framing isn't overbaring on the image. I like this alot. Regards from Gary.
