Yesterday in the Chicago area was about as miserable as it gets in the Spring - 41F. and winds at 30MPH right off Lake Michigan with fog and driving mizzle(drizzle/mist). I had had it with no signs of Spring so we trekked to the garden centers and came home with our pansies for the season. Now I have some color on my terrace at least! (Pansies like this miserable weather.) This is the first of a series of my pansies - the colors are all in blue/violet tones and are all Matrix pansies - a new type with unusual faces. All comments and critiques appreciated.

A very good capture of this beautiful bloom, Trixxie. Lovely colours, clarity and details in the photo. Very nicely presented shot.

Looovveee Pansies - "Amor-Perfeito" (perfect love), and this one is very graceful, wonderful presentation and, to me, is a perfect colors combination, violet-lilac and yellow! Super!

A very lovely photo Trixxie.
It is difficult to get that nice softness in pansies you have achieved- top work.
The composition is perfect also.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

All them pansies, Kathy dear, are almost equally beautiful with this one as my favourite [10/10 for each] plus aren't they almost as charming as Jimbo's coloured starling he posted recently ?!
