Hi Bill

I like how the vertical lines converge to the detailed top of the composition. The colors and light are very pleasing

Lovely,Bill...Glad to see you make good use of your newly repaired 200! It's a perfect ce;ebration. Love the petal color and the lighting. The opening is just the right size. Nicely conceived and captured.
