I LOVE the composure of this image, Collen!! TERRIFIC lines and color! :) #4572289Colleen Farrell July 28, 2007
Thanks so much, Peaches, Laurie and Jennifer!I'm so glad everybody likes this. I didn't arrange the pots, other than to move them closer together here and there. But when I composed the photo, I made sure the patterned pot was on the rule of thirds grid so the eye would have something to rest on. #4572598
