I liked the harmonious colors and also the mix of old and new blooms. Taken with my Canon 100mm macro/fuji velvia 100.

WOW!

Superb image David. Fantastic color, lighting, comp, and detail. I could gaze at this for a long, long time. Very nicely done!

P.S. If you don't mind, did you scan this yourself, and if so, I would be interested in finding out what you used.

Hi Philip, I did scan this myself with a Nikon Coolscan V scanner. I highly recommend it.

Great color and texture! Love how you put the two "youngsters" in there. Thanks for such a cheerful looking image. It's a wonderful antidote to winter. Best wishes for the Season, David.
