The soft, pale colorings...slight vignette and water droplets really entice the viewer to dive in and continue to absorb in awe!! The overall comp / set-up is superior Eve!!

Great color. I like how the petals go from thick to thin and pointy. This would be great on a Birthday, Mothers Day or Wedding card.

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

Tis a Pretty Pink Picture you brings us today Eve. I like that you got close enough to fill the image with these blossoms leaving little background to distract. I've stared at this for some time now and on my screen it's almost as though those water droplets were floating above the flowers in a separate layer so to speak. Not a criticism ... but it does make me question these old eyes of mine. LOL

You are something else, lady. What a capture. That is gorgeous. 75? I hardly think so. That's a 10. I love it and it's a keeper. I like how it fills the screen. I like the water drops. I adore the gentle pastel colors. Magnificent.

Well this came up in VB and I gave it high marks Eve. This is a great image in itself but water droplets make it spectacular...gerry
