Michael: Don't see a 2x on a WA very often. What an interesting combination of subjects. I especially like the color palette. My only tiny 1¢ nit is the calla that's partially cut off in the LLC. The bamboo is a nice anchor. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Well put together. The colors are true and pleasing. The bamboo helps keep it all together.

Most unusual and effective perspective, Michael - very well seen and composed.

Interesting pov, that works very well. The yellow Calla's are certainly the stars, but have a great supporting cast, especially with the bamboo stalks.

This turned out rather well, Mike. Much better than anything I came back with that day. I really like the combination of colors in the scene along with the trio of bamboo stalks.
