Hey Jan,
I love the glow, a special feel that bursts of it,

a wonderful gesture, no one ever will compare to,
a peaceful thought, crossing the air,
a blue droplet, floating across the ocean,
a gorgeous bird, impressing its family,

a message, crying to be heart,
a treasure, waiting to be fought for,
a star, hoping to be discovered,

Me, treasuring the moment forever,
------------------------------------------------♥

Thanks for sharing
Tim

I have no Idea about flowers but this one is a bit deffernt to the norm, The top seems to have lots of little flowers and I find that interesting and I think the focus is excellent. I`m not normally a fan of vignetting but in this case for some reason I like it, I think it`s the fact that you got the black frame there as well that does it but maybe the way the flowers are sitting? Very, very good Jan!

The pink of the flower is set off very nicely with the slight sepia background. If I were you I'd ask to be taken on my fishing trips...you never know what you might run across...or what might run across you!! Patience can pay off, or so I'm told <<LOL>> :)

Just a super botanical image, Jan! The dof is spot on and the colors work so well together. Boredom didn't win the day after all, excellence did!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
