Purple and white seemed just right for Easter morning.

This is another stem from the same plant as "Innocence".

This sure has an innocence about it! Some how you handle these high key images perfectly...I rarely like it when the whites merge into the BG, but in this case it works beautifully!

We are just starting the 3rd week of lent!

Purple: the color of kings, and
white: purity.

I would say very fitting, Mark! Gorgeous image.

I find this very appealing Mark, love the purple with the touch of gold against the high key BG. Beautiful work.

Beautifully composed, Mark, with the white of the petals caught ever so softly. The low greyish bud offers a tonal change I am undecided about - maybe a good contrast, maybe a touch distracting. Whatever, this is a very fine image.
