I've been pretty tough on my flowers lately...giving them a very sharp appearance, so for this one I decided to let it go with a flow of softness. I have another version of this that I may put up at a later time, but I'm going to wait and see what the mood of the crowd is upon entertaining this view. :)

What a wonderful perspective. A silhouette that accentuates the structure of the bloom enhanced by the glowing warmth of the background. A statement in simple unadulterated beauty.

The beer urges me on, the bewitching beer, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.

Hey PJ,
I think the mood of the crowd is pretty much in fire by this one, (~8 8~)
Very nice treatment, I too like the glow on the background (or is that on the foreground),
Love it a lot,
Nicely done,
Thanks for sharing

I really enjoy hearing from my caedes friends.
I got this one in the booth and I`m not the biggest fan of flower shots but I think the colours and presentation of this one are a cut above. I`ve not seen one like this before and I`m very impressed. It`s stunning.

Excellent! I like the way you have presented the flower and the way you have done the background and the sharpness in spite of the soft glow.

I don't know what the other version looks like but you're gonna have a real tough time beating this, think about that before ya post it. LOL This may well be the best flower I've seen on this site. If not it's very close, I think you did a fantastic job on this PJ. The glow you managed behind the flower literally lights it up. SUPER GROOVY !!!! MY HIGHEST MARK. :)+fav

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.

Oooh, the flower looks angelic. You really know how to capture beauty in full! Beautiful piece :)

PJ, think it's clear, 'the mood of the crowd' (as you mentioned it above), don't left you any doubts whether to put up the other version or not. PS: I belong to that crowd as well. Beautiful piece of work. Regards, Cornelius

this is the first 10 i've given to a flower picture in the last year. i think that means something so i'd let you know, this one is unique in some qualities that make it stand out above the rest.

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION...
I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!
Missed so much this past summer, luckily I came across this in your gallery. A standout as a thumbnail, a knockout on the page and absolutely gorgeous full screen. Would grace anyone's desktop. The bloom is beautiful, the background selected sets it off perfectly. The gentle glowing brown fading to dark edges ... exquisite. Excellent presentation. Thanks for a favorite.
