Let them be as flowers always watered, fed, guarded, admired but harnessed to a pot of dirt. I'd wanna be a tall, pretty weed clinging on cliffs, like an eagle wind - wavering above high, jagged rocks. Catching everyone's eye and pleasing them, not ticking them off. To have broken through the surface of stone, to live, to feel exposed to the madness of the vast, eternal sky. To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea, carrying my soul, my seed, beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre. To be admired by many. II wanna be seen, instead i'm shunned by everyone, because i'm not a pleasant smelling flower, growing in clusters in the fertile valley, where they're praised, handled, and plucked by greedy human hands. I wanna smell sweet and fragrant, like a rose, a lilac. and have a pretty name like petunia. If I could stand alone, strong and free, I'd rather pretty, not an ugly weed. I tried to make their wish come true. Hope you like :)

I really like the framing on this... different! :-) The lighting is very pleasant as well... I just wish the branch that is your feature point was all in focus. Keep up the good work. :-)

We dont need to make you pretty because you already are!! The picture of you proves it and also proves that the person taking the photo is a talented artist.

Not to worry, they are pretty. Nice background colors. Alittle blurring, but maybe that was planned. I like the frame - makes the image appear as if it's in a photo album. Nicely presented work :)
