The background looks like an impressionist painting. The colors are warm and subdued and the centerpiece...not perfectly symmetrical, is just perfect. Love your work! Thanks Jim.
I like the angle you chose on this one, Jimbob. Very nice DoF and a lovely little flower. The background foliage almost looks like fall colors. Hard to believe since it'll be approaching 100° here today. For the second day in a row I've noticed that the maximum image size is relatively small. I make my living by downloading your shots and selling them at the local swap meet. It's very hard to get a quality print out of such a small image. Please do me a favor and start going full screen again. My son Tim (we call him Tiny Tim) needs new crutches and sales at the swap meet are below expectation. If you're afraid about theft, you can sign your shots. That way I can clone out the signature.
Jimbob, probably because my gender is male, I'm still not accustomed to get offered flowers. Yet I will accept them because we live in a time of emancipation, lol.
Whoever planted that garden sure to how to mix and match for coloring JimboB. They did it so you could come along and get this perfect copy. Kudos and Happy F².
Dazzling colors in this shot and I really like the way the DOF has been controlled in your recent shots. I think I've mentioned that before but it's worth repeating. Gorgeous capture, sir -
