I could not come up with a better title that brought out the beauty and contrast of these hanging baskets below a second story window. Three story old building in Coupeville, WA nested along the water...showing its aged, worn and neglected condition.

Ken,
I really like this shot, great comp, love the color against the weathered wood. Only thing I would of changed would be to clone the salt shaker out. It distracts my eye and seems to look out of place.

Nice. I like the monochrome of the background paired with the bright flowers. Great catch! I'm on the fence about the salt shaker.

I also like the salt shaker, and the chair and the table. The hint of those items really makes a person study the entire image after first looking at the beautiful flowers. Very nice!

Ah, Coupeville is a wonderful place to make these kind of images. Tons of photo ops there. Really like this, Ken! Well composed intimate and detailed composition. Kudos.
