Desert vegetation is as tough as their environment. Thanks for

stopping.

Andrew, Your captures are spectacular. Happy and Healthy 2016 to you as well.

Excellent capture on so many levels - mood, composition, depth of field. If the bird happened in reality, a very lucky capture requiring Ninja reflexes, if added with Photoshop, very artistic. Either way, your capture is a winner! BTW, in my world, the effective use of Photoshop to convey a story is a talent unless of course you are a police, insurance or news photographer. 

Gail, Another of your very artistic, well thought out and creative images! Joanne likes your images as well.

Great image! Well done.

I like your composition. Have been there and you've captured the feeling or essence of the location. Good shot!

Thanks Robert and Gail for your comments and input. On the off chance that there may be thoughts that this shot was Photoshopped but not overworked... I'll take that as a compliment. This is pretty much straight out of the camera, as was shot.  

Hi Gail, You have captured a great feel for the texture and colour with both the flower itself combined with the background. One of the best in your portfolio. Good work!

Hello Gail, You are correct, this is a re-post but this time a 'cleaned up' final portfolio version. I'm glad that you mentioned about convex mold impression. It is just how your brain is thinking at the moment you look at the image. Take another look and you may see it as a regular depression mold.

Concept is well done. Even from just a thumbnail this capture jumps out.

Thanks for stopping. Sometimes it need more than just one strong

person to prevent a fall.
