bob cornelison 		  Excellent colors that go together weirdly because the lighting is wrong for the flowers and sunset. I like the effect it has!

Nobu Nagase 		  Thank you all so much for taking the time to view and comment on this piece.
I was not sure how it will be taken here, but I felt if even just one person liked this, I would have been happy... and I got 10 more... it makes me 10 times happer... :D

Marsha, thank you very much for your description on this. I love that. Us who live in Texas, perhaps, look at bluebonnets differently...

Thank you again, everyone!!!

Nobu Nagase 		  Thank you, everyone, for your continuing support and encouragement.

This is so special and I am happy for receiving this honor.
This image (as I said above) was created a year ago and was my favorite but did not make the finalist.
This is a resubmit of the same entry a year ago for I wanted to give it another chance.
Thank you everyone here and the BP judges.

Nobu Nagase 		  Jo Ann,
Thank you for your comment.

I have not participated in Betterphoto contest for several years now.

I really do not think this was in last month finalist unless Betterphoto or its members played a trick.
I would appreciate if you could point to the contest (finalist) page where this may be found.

Regards,
Nobi
