I have to take exception! Believe me, I've not yet mastered anything about photography, except perhaps replacing the batteries. I've been more fortunate, than learned, I think! I'll be coming back to you when I want to perfect my flower macros and compositions. #4279797Nikki McDonald May 19, 2007
This is so lovely, Tamera--as are all your florals! Don't know how you can choose a favorite from among them but I love this one. The light is great and I especially like your treatment of the background; there's enough of the colors of the other flowers that it's almost like a very soft reflection-shadow of the bloom you focused on. Very nice. Also wanted to comment on your other fav which I absolutely love: the contrast in texture between the smoothness of the gulls and the rough board and the fun interaction between the birds--it does look as if they are having a little conversation, doesn't it. Anyway, best of luck with your April favorites and other entries this month. #4300436Tamera S. Phillips May 19, 2007
Thank you Nikki. #4300816BILLY R. PARKER May 23, 2007
