I had to pick up my camera and 'try' a few shots. Look'n pretty shakey :) #1445138Beth Spencer February 23, 2012
Welcome back Carla!! I am glad you are getting better!! I like this one, the colors are great and I think you did a good job with the focus. What kind of flower is this? #9998487Jeff E Jensen February 23, 2012
I love the rich pink colors, Carla.It's good to have you back! #9998500
Dale Hardin February 23, 2012
It's so good to see your creations again Carla. Beautifully balanced with just a touch of crisp focus to tickle the senses. Very nice. #9998663Sue C. Cole February 23, 2012
Yes, welcome back. Sometimes the pain is when you can't do want you love more than the pain of the injury itself. I love pink and I love the dark pink that flows into the light. Just lovely:) #9998668Stephen Shoff February 23, 2012
Great composition with great leading lines. If this is "shakey" for you, I'm way out-classed! #9998699Kristin Duff February 23, 2012
I love the lead in line with the focused petal pushing my eye right to the stamens. Also love the shades of pink and to echo B9th S. what type of flower is this? #9998706Jeanine M. Bailey February 24, 2012
Loving this as it makes me anxious for spring and summer!! Miss seeing colors like this!! Just beautiful!! :) #9999257Carla Capra Anderson February 24, 2012
Thank you all.Arthur Bohlmann February 24, 2012
Welcome back my friend. I can see by this fine image that you have not lost your touch #9999407Aimee C. Eisaman February 24, 2012
Glad to see you picking up the camera...you go girl! :~) I can't see any shakes in this one...you nailed a focus on a super narrow DOF! I love the composition on it too. I think it could use brightened up a tad though. #9999455Emile Abbott February 24, 2012
OH MY GIRL IT IS SOO SOO GOOD TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN. NO SHAKE HERE JUST PURE PERFECTION. LET THE HEALING BEGIN! #10000015Debbie E. Payne February 24, 2012
Carla - I am so glad to see your beautiful images coming back into view. And I'm with Stephen, if this is shaky then so am I. #10000274Kristin Duff February 24, 2012
Magnolia...awwwww...we can't grow these in our zone so it is lovely to see the blossoms here, thank you! #10000360Anthony L. Mancuso February 24, 2012
Great to see you back Carla...love the limited DOF and leading line of the edge of the petal on this one.. #10000395Stephen Shoff February 24, 2012
I hadn't recognized this as a tulip tree. I was down in your neck of the woods (or orchards) last weekend. I'm kicking myself now. I passed up opportunities for orchard blossoms and for these tulip trees blossoms. #10000480Aimee C. Eisaman February 25, 2012
O this is a tulip tree??? We have them here and they don't look like this. This looks more like the magnolia trees my neighbor has. #10000843Rita K. Connell February 25, 2012
this is beautiful, I love the tones and the placement of the bud. good to have you back #10001016Karen Celella February 25, 2012
Lovely Carla! Welcome back! #10001026Peter W. Marks February 25, 2012
The Liriodendron (popular name 'Tulip tree') is been hybridized (is that a word?)so they don't necessarily have the pink blossom we see in Carla's fine image. We see them in some folk's yard around here but in one of Mother Nature's strange quirks they come into bloom too early and invariably get hit by late frosts so we only get to enjoy them for a short time.John Connolly February 26, 2012
Welcome back to BP Carla! This is a glorious flower and capture, you certainly haven't lost your touch while you have been sick! #10002871Ellen Hodges February 26, 2012
