You're right, Dan. I can tell this gerbera had beautiful stories to tell you. I love your work; your flowers, your abstracts, your benches, your doors and windows, your stairs, and I am sure they all talk to you, but I bet among all the flowers, gerberas are your best friends. This is a great example of the secret language between photographer and subject and you've been able to translate all that beauty into a wonderful picture. Great shot, Dan! #882814
