We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

What makes this shot, for me, is the offset shadow in the shape of the petals. that, and the inner glow of this flower.
I'm thinking perhaps that the smaller leaves on the bottom of the frame distract slightly. perhaps a cleaner look might be attained by cloning or darkening them out?
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
