Excellent follow-up to the red geranium, Ron. Nice light and color on the begonia. Well composed and I like the dof management. My only reservation is the oof area in the LRC, but I am not sure this was avoidable and I don't see any crop possibilities. Very nice all in all.

Nice, swinging rhythm to the composition of this, Ronald, and good light and colour. I tend to agree with Scott about the LRC - might a slightly different perspective have been possible ? Lovely image anyway.

What kind of begonia is this? All I know are the Cane Begonias I see planted around here, but I know there are many different varieties.

I agree with Scott about the LRC. :smile:
