Shot at Mercer Gardens in Houston, Texas. For some reason this one reminds me of those 2000 piece picture puzzles.

Great shot, Murry!! The purple is intense. That background would make for a mean puzzle, though!

Dolores Neilson August 06, 2004

Gorgeous color and lighting, Murry! #691574

Stephen Zacker August 06, 2004

Super colors and detail. Like your background a lot! #691626

Monika Sapek August 06, 2004

Love how the purples tones in those leaves in the background are matching the flower petals, Murry. But if you don’t mind my honesty, I think it would be better to crop this image a bit from the right, to the edge of the brighter leaf, so this beautiful flower would be placed more on the side of this image. But it’s still a very nice image, Murry, by those colors here which I like it a lot!

Wonderful!!! #691676

Murry Grigsby August 06, 2004

Thanks Ellen, Stephen, Monika and Adilson :0) Thanks for the suggestion Monika. I'm always pleased when someone thinks enough of one of my photos to take the time to offer constructive criticism. I always hate to crop very much since my camera is only 3.2 megapixels but here is the cropped version. What do you think? #691697

Colette M. Metcalf August 06, 2004

Hey Murry, I like the cropped version better! #691805

Monika Sapek August 06, 2004

Oh, yes, Murry, I like this image even more now. Nice crop ;-). You see the first version of this image leaves the flower almost in the center with a little too much empty space on the right, but here it is much better. I know what you mean saying about the cropping. Even now having more megapixels from my new camera, I don’t like cropping my images also ;-).

Michelle R. Kovach August 06, 2004

Hi Murry!
I like the first one but the second one really has a pop to it! In the edited version I like the off-center feel it gives it! Great colors!
Have a great day!
Michelle #691841

Murry Grigsby August 06, 2004

Thanks Colette, Monika and Michelle. Well that does it, I'll just tell Pat that I need a new camera with more megapixels :0) #691908

Terry R. Hatfield August 06, 2004

Hi Murry What A Change Between The Two The Cropped Version Looks Much Better!! Nice Job:-) #691949

Susie Peek-Swint August 06, 2004

Both shots are lovely Murry but I prefer the cropped version with the flower slightly off center.. beautiful colours! Don't feel so bad with the 3.2mp as mine has just 2! One of these days I hope to be up there with the big guys :) #691989
