Wonderful color, detail and excellent lighting! Congratulations on the EP Debbie! #968537Debbie E. Payne July 27, 2008
Christina -- I was so happy with these shots. I was visiting my daughter and she had to go to an orientation day for her new job and I was home alone and started examining a couple of petunias that had fallen out of her hanging baskets. Put them in poses on a sunny windowsill outlooking her yard. She thought I was nuts. Nuts works for me! #6238348M.Christine Duncan July 28, 2008
Very lovely... you have such a creative mind Debbie! Congrats on the magical EP! #6239896Debbie E. Payne July 28, 2008
Congrats on your most recent one too! I just saw it on the EP Club site. It was so fun to "arrange" these petunia "dancers" on my daughter's windowsill. I didn't really care if she thought I was nuts or not. The fact that she wanted about six 8x12's to frame and put on the big wall in her office of the new house proves it, I guess. I hope she'll take a pic of it and send it to me when she has them framed like she wants them and arranged on the wall.Sam Britt August 21, 2008
Congratulations again, Debbie. Terrific finalist! #6347337Debbie E. Payne August 21, 2008
Thank you, Sam. As I was glancing through the finalists I believe you had a number of finalists, am I right? I hope I have a slow day at work tomorrow so I can look at everyone's! This was a very laid back day while I was in Cleveland helping my daughter set up her house and she had to go to an orientation at the hospital one day so I spent the day "arranging" upside down petunia petals on her sunny windowsill!! Never in a million years did I think I'd end up with a finalist on one of these posed shots #6347475Daniella Puente August 22, 2008
Congrats on this beautiful finalist! #6350372Debbie E. Payne August 25, 2008
Thank you, Renata. I was amazed at how "graceful" an upside-down petunia could be!! #6364397Aimee C. Eisaman August 27, 2008
