beautiful .. ethereal and so good that it didnt bomb .. !!
knowing the story behind this i imagine the flower is looking up to heaven .. a connection between worlds .. you are the flower ..
you and jon are often in my thoughts .. :)
It is surprising sometimes, and sometimes not, how things will happen. This shot, which you submitted before Jon's passing, ever so delicately and beautifully illustrates it just the same. A beautiful tribute.
Oh, Charlene, this one was yours! Even not knowing the story, I thought it was one of the best flower photos I'd ever seen. But knowing that this flower was one that Jon sent to you to say he loved you makes it even more beautiful. It really IS a "best of 2008" photo, isn't it. On so many levels.
I pray for your heart to be comforted every single day and even someday to heal!
A fabulous soft and gentle and romantic image. The delicate touch you gave this in lighting and editing really gives this one a wonderful lift. I am so happy it scored as well as it did.
I'm so excited for you that you submitted this and it worked well. I thought it was a beautiful shot and the lighting was so delicate. Perfect for the pretty subject. Congrats on a great score for the "Best of" challenge! Hugs!
very nice, love the sharp lines that blur into softness, crisp and clean feel, great leading line and i love your negative space, makes this whole shot scream.
I love this! And I don't typically get all warm and fuzzy over flower photos, but I love the soft whites and the dreamy feel. Of all flower photos, THIS is a 10 big time!
