This is a wonderful piece Annie, created for an equally wonderful woman. The sharp and distinct image of the flowers are well lighted with tremendous clarity in the focus. Colors are amazing and the use of the Fractalius filter works very well to emphasize the beauty in the petals.

Techs all around 5. This is a photo that makes you stop in your shoes and just be drawn in by the beauty and sparkle of these wonderful roses. The black B/G works perfectly to help make these pop and emphasize all of their detail. Wonderful composition. This should be on a wall somewhere people walk by because it is sure a show stopper. Excellent!

Wow, this is an absolutely gorgeous composition. The roses are so beautiful. I love the swirls in the background. This photo has given me a renewed vigour for the coming year. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. I know Sange will love it.

Beautiful image of these flowers. Love your editing and I think this should go on greeting card. What can I say picture-perfect. Have a Happy New Year. Charlie

Lovely capture of the flower with nice contrasts and great lighting 5. Like the interesting lines on the white flowers. Like the dark contrast and creative back curves. Very pre tty.

Comment from Sange
You are the Dearest friend I have ever had. You know my heart, you touch my soul and you know who I am just as well as my brother does. And you do this by reading my words and knowing my heart.
There is a favorite quote of mine by
Hubert H. Humphrey:
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.
That sums up who you are Cara Annie.
You know white roses remind me of you...they represent truth and purity. The one red rose represents unconditional love which you have always given me.
The fractalias filter is the light in which you have touched my soul with.
You are the reason my photography has improved and there is no better therapy than that of a true friend who always has your back.
Tiamo.... per sempre..
Thank you for this... it means a lot to me. :)
