Hi everyone, while the flower is not in focus throughout, I decided to post this pretty little thing regardless, smiling! A few people had asked to see the original photo of the former posting, "A Painted View", so I bring it back without mosaic treatment, and with pleasure! Please enjoy, Marilyn

I think it looks terrific as is Marilyn! Sometimes beauty outweighs mechanics as is the case here I think. In fact I had to look several times to even notice what was out of focus! It's as much of a pleasure for us to view as for you to post! Especially at this time of year when we only get to see these in pictures! Nicely done Ms. Marilynjane, ma'am! C):-)

I do not think the focus in any way detracts from this beautiful shot. The colours alone are stunning and it has a soft and dreamy quality. Lovely :)

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

I think its lovely and just what I needed to see on a cold, wet and windy night in Wales. Makes me think of spring and sunshine.

Wow, what a stunning capture !! Love the rich colors against the muted brownish background. Really makes the flower standout. And the droplets just add to the overall effects of the presentation. Great desktop image in the 1024x768 mode. Well done!
Thanks for sharing and bring a little Spring to brighten my day. eg

I love the simplicity of this shot with the one main flower. I love the deep purple of this flower and the bright yellow right in the middle. Nature can be so beautiful and more isn’t always better. Thanks for sharing.
