  Thanks everyone!

Caley, it only took a minute or two to set this up. The real work comes when the wind starts blowing, but the plamps helps out a great deal with that.
Then, the work may also come from the mirror and trying to reflect a bit of a spotlight effect down within the bloom.

Thanks again gang!
Mike

  I was surprised to see this pop up in my e-mail, and want to say thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I do appreciate them all!

Being a moderator of another nature photographers web site and comparing the two, BP is right up there at the top with the wonderful participation from its members, the quality or "well thought out" site, and of course, the outstanding images to be found!
I am truly honored!!

Again, ............ thanks everyone!

Mike

  Hi Michael - This is such an awesome photo. I visited your gallery, and although it is very difficult to pick a favorite, this is mine. You are a very talented artist. Every one of your photos has a truly professional, artistic quality about it. Keep up the good work.
