Not a lot going on in our garden right now so I bought a small bouquet for Chrissy (I was NOT in the doghouse!). Played around with some of the blooms and rather liked this one. All comments welcome. >=))>

I like the soft feel with just enough detail. The white petals help balance the orange petals. Well done.

Beautiful color and detail. The white petals enrich the composition.

I think this flower is sticking it's tongue out at you. :biggrin: The dominance of orange broken up by the soft greens in the center and the white petals works very well. I could also see cropping down from the top a bit to reduce the symmetry and emphasize the "tongue".

Now, I've got to go to the grocery store, Bill! :mad: :biggrin: 'Cause this looks just like that color. This needs to be hanging in an art gallery somewhere! Fantastic work from concept to capture to presentation. :toast:

Very nice, Bill. The colors and detail are outstanding!
With all the 100 deg days we have been having... understand about nothing much going on in the garden.
You have made the most out of the bouquet, and won some points at home too, I'm sure. :smile:
