Thanks very much, Jill, Janine, Rob, Darryl, Susan, Donna, Evy, Margaret and Leanne! I should add that I was inspired by the magnificent frangipani images of Stan Contrades! After trying it, and realising how difficult they can be to capture, I can appreciate the beauty of Stan's images even more!! #2279261Pat Gamwell January 12, 2006

Robyn, if you hadn't told us that this was your first attempt at photographing these GORGEOUS blooms we surely would NEVER have known!! You have done a FANTASTIC job with this capture, and the added effects just make it PERFECT!! :o)These are one of my VERY favourite flowers, too!! I was actually fortunate enough to have them feature in my bridal bouquet (nearly 37 years ago now!)!! :o)
BP's resident Mr Flowers, Stan Contrades, will have to watch his back now that you have started photographing AND producing such BEAUTIFUL images as this one, Robyn!! ;o) Keep up the GREAT work, and have a LOVELY evening!! :o) #2279281
