Comment from Pentax2012


Love the colors and depth to this - it has a photographic quality but is defintely art. The shaded greens keep it from being flat. Text style and placement is comfortable and appropriate. Very nice!

Aww.... this is such a sweet and endearing picture that you have captured here. I really love the different components in this picture. From the font to the flower and butterflies, this is certainly a beautifully made creation.

Comment from Anne


This is stunning the way you have done it. I am so glad you are back. You do such amazing work. The detail in this is awesome. I like the way you have positioned the flowers in the picture. I like the way you have the light sinning on the grass too. A very creative, beautiful and excellent work of art.

    Thank you ever so much, Anne!! I wrote this once, but I think I hit the wrong button instead of save reply. I had ask you a couple questions---was wondering if you are the same Anne that used to post photos of the wild mustangs in Nevada? Your profile picture is different, so I wasn't sure. And now you are living in FL? You also mentioned selling your house in Carolina?? Now I'm really confused, LOL!! :)shawn

    That is me. I haven't been able to get back to see the mustangs in a long time. I miss that too. We moved to a retirement village in FL last month. Kind of a big move since SC was my home and we had been there so long. I wanted to move to SD to be near the horse but Ron said it was too cold there so here we are in sunny FL. I am glad you are back. I think you do fantastic work and I look forward to seeing a lot more of it. The profile is a picture of me and Annie. She is the wild mustang that I own.
Comment from onyanita


deserves six stars. The composition is so well thought out. The drooping flowers give a sense of sadness and the butterflies are a lovely touch. Everything is perfectly place and the text is really nice. Great lighting applied and lovely clarity. The colors are divine. Superb!

The little butterflies were the first thing that caught my eye. They bring everything into perfect harmony. Your creative presentation also is very well done.

Comment from dodgement


Nice picture, But it looks like Lilac on daffodil leaves. In a lot of countries lilac is associated with death.

Very well done.
Like the drooping of the flowers, goes well with the caption.
The colors are vivid, like the sprinkling of sunlight.
Good composition and pov.

Very comforting flower portrait of these purple beauties that inspire the heart of the viewer and comfort as well.

Comment from avmurray


What a beautiful card you have created. I especially like your use of a limited pallet which gives the composition a very nice balance. I also like very much the lettering you have used, and that also this is done in a green hue.

The purple flowers are so well defined and are standing out so well from the nicely blurred background. Especially the softness of the back drop has given this a nice depth. I also think the light effects you have added works really well.

This is a strong composition with all the elements well placed. I like the addition of the small butterflies. It is a beautiful card which I could easily have picked if I saw it on a shelf.
