Can't always give individual thanks but I am so appreciative of everyone's comments and input. I truly enjoy seeing all of your posts and am always happy to see you at My Gallery. Thanks, Anita
The colors are so rich and pretty; great greens to contrast that beautiful pink aster so perfectly focused. And then there's that cooool framing - ahhh, just lovely, Mariana!

Exciting & excellent photo Mariana!! Grand framing, although would’ve liked to seen it stretched out a wee more. Cool colours really reach out and get’cha!!
Picture Purrrfect .
A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!!
Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
Wow Mariana, this is absolutely gorgeous! The detail and composition are both excellent, and I love the framing job and the way the flower comes out from the frame. Excellent work, my friend. It's in my faves.
Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
It fell into my faves before I even viewed it full size. What an amazing job you've done with this composition. I've never seen a bud presented in this manner, and I wouldn't think to do it myself either. Somehow it seems I like to wait for the full blown flower to open before I actually see the beauty in it, but you've taught me a good lesson here. Of course the way you've handled it with the frame and the way it's reaching out to us from within the confines is just outstanding. I hope I meet her in the voting booth..she's getting a 10 10 10 from me :)PJ
I do love the coming out over the frame effect. A magnificent presentation of a very beautiful flower. Did you get one when it was fully opened? It is such a pretty colour.
This is beautiful. It came up in the voting booth and I had to see whose it was. It appears I missed seeing it on my Friends List. This is a marvel of design. The colors and structure are out of this world. It's also a keeper. Wonderful post.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

This is a wonderful sharp clear photo with beautiful color in the flower and a nicely subdued background. I agree with PJ that I would not think to even take this picture and you have had the vision to do so and to make it a work of art. Into my faves.
