Linda- Everytime I look at your gallary the same question always comes up. Has this girl ever taken a bad picture? No matter what you do, it always comes out so beautiful as with this flower. I love that background and the blend of colors created by the dof. The flower is so gorgeous and the compositon outstanding. Outstanding pov to show us not only the beauty of the flower but the fasinating details of the underside.Joseph N. DiGilio August 04, 2009
