Now the bushes of the Hypericum begin to be covered by their golden flowers.

Just behind home, in a playground for children.

Great use of light Gigi. I like the high key look - it fits well with the airy blooms.

You mention this was found behind your home in a playground for children. Perfectly put words in that this image is so vibrant, and so very much playful as to remind one of children playing.

Gigi:
Fabulous high key image. What I find most interesting is the amount of details in the leaves and petal texture, edge definition you are able to capture with this high key image.

Gigi - Stunning - with one bloom looking upward and one downward. Wonderful details, light and a nice high key background.

Love the high-key take on this Gigi. The translucent quality of the petals and leaves is exceptional.
