Beautiful Paddy, and I love the darkned BG. Nice! :) I love a good black BG but this one works very well being slight.

I went to an art show tonight. It was wonderful. :) I felt like I was at HOME and in my element.

Patrick- I have seen two gorgeous florals in a row and, man, my friend, either one is a winner to me. We are so used to you turning stange things into works of art, I love when you do pictures like this as it shows your talent has no limits. The composition is so beautiful the way its layed out. That lightng just magnifies all the gorgeous features and textures. The colors are so gorgeous. I especially love the pov as you let us take in the beauty of the whole flower from the tip of the petals to the beautiful heart of the flower. Works of beauty my friend.
Have a fanatastic weekend, take care, enjoy. #8731233

Another superb floral composition, Patrick! Frank has said it all - particularly about the "strange things" you make into works of art that we forget how talented you are with more "normal" photographic subjects! This floral is so well done - incredible clarity and detail on both flowers (not an easy thing to do)and the color is outstanding! Great job! #8733038
