Now this is a different presentation and I love it! Those yellow lines really give this a great look Cindy and the flower is beautiful! Outstanding work!!!
I'm not sure what's wrong with me, Cindy. Maybe I'm just a guy, but the title immediately made me think of a nude beach in the south of France. :-)
You obviously know your way around a camera and know how to edit a shot. I suspect that the background originally wasn't black, but you've done a masterful job of making it look like you used a black velvet sheet in the background. Love the detail and the textures of the petals. Normally I'm not a fan of borders, but this minimalistic border of two horizontal lines really helps to set off the bloom. Excellent foofy shot.
Simply masterpiece.... Still none here although the temperature now [13:28 hrs] is 20 degrees C. *proudly retreating* This morning we had a terribly dense fog. Will email some to you LOL SAM & SAAB
Beauties they are too Cindy. I have buds on mine but no blooms just yet. It is supposed to turn cold again next week, hope that does not do them in before blooming....
The soft, blurry, Norton look flowers are good for that type of presentation COG. I never have been a big fan of it but I have learned to like them. Contrasting colors are top notch. I was thinking awards when I saw the title.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I love how they trumpet that Spring has arrived. Such a lovely artful shot. Enjoyed this. My wife as well...daffodils are one of her favorites. Faved. Tom
