John,

These are really neat. I've never seen them before. Had I not looked them up I'd have thought you stuck a couple of flowers in some rocks or coral. About how big are these?

I like your composition very much as well as the space you left for your name in the upper right corner. The stack also looks good to me. This is as interesting an image as I've seen in a while. No suggestions on the photography. I think this is the first image of yours that I've commented on, so welcome to the gallery. I hope to see many more images.

Pat

John, I really like this and I think your stacking technique looks great. I've only seen these little "stone" flowers once and I had no idea they bloomed.

Great unusual post.

Cheers,

Carol

John, Never seen anything like this before. Like Pat said, I'd thought these are some nice colorful carved rocks

. Great work on the isolation and superb stacking. Great Work

John, welcome. As much as I'm taken with the subject matter I also have to say that your exposures here are tremendous. Great techs.
