Flora Theme:My Pick

I did as I was told by Bill

Go to my local florist "WalMart" and pick some flowers for a photo! Voila!!!

Critiques and suggestions are very welcomed and appreciated.

This will be my only one for this week. Turkey week is upon us and my family is descending on us (which is ALWAYS a good thing) but no time for NPN. Happy Thanksgiving to all NPNers and I give thanks for my cyber friends

Awesome Beth. Looks like an underwater anemone kind of thing also (even though I am stretching my imagination a bit far). Great exposure on the whites. Happy thanksgiving to you too, Beth. Have Fun.

I remember reading somewhere that he would foot the bill too

. Did I read it right

A nice pattern of lights and darks here Beth, this might also work well as a B & W.

Perfect composition of this white flower. Like how the petal fades into white nothingness.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Beth. This is a beautiful shot. Superb composition, perfect dof for my tastes and brilliant whites. You should use it as a centerpiece for the meal.

Beautiful, simple and pure! The whites, from cream to yellow, are very nice.

Dazzling image, Beth ! The light bg works so well with the whites of the flower and the perspective produces a great composition.

Beth: Looks like you're the only one paying attention except for Ram who obviously is engaged in some serious wishful thinking. Absolutely perfect whites and a classic and very effective comp. 2 drumsticks up! (and thumbs as well) >=))>
