 My favorite flower. This was supposed to be my Pastels entry, and I should have stuck with my gut, but noooooo... instead I'm getting slammed in Pastels and this isn't likely to fare much better even though I already have friends begging for prints. Come va.

Daniel doesn't comment on too many during the challenge. I, if I were to recieve this, would count it as an honor. To me, sometimes getting recognitions from someone who is, themselves, and amazing photographer is better than recognition from the masses.

actually it looks more like "the head and the hair." A magical effect. A truly memorable shot.

To me, the Moon has perfect placement but my eye wants to look at the flower which I don't feel is quite in line with the rule. ????
