Well I see you have two birthdays to celebrate every year three days apart! =)
Well Happy Birthday Norway!
I love the red white and blue theme. I really love the background zoom effect that looks like a soft version of a firework explosion.
Beautiful work with your superb camera techs and Annie Artistic flair.
Well done Cara!
:)

What an effective and beautiful tribute to your country. I love the bursting effect in the background that shares the same colors and hues as the subject. This is a very appealing piece Annie. Nice work - Kathy

This looks like a very patriotic bouquet of flowers. Love the red, white and blue colors. Love the blurred frame around the whole picture.

Those flowers are stunning and you hve captured them beautifully. Your focus is super sharp as is the detail you have achieved. I don't know if you made up the display but whoever did has done and excellent job enabling you to achieve a very good composition. I appreciate your excellent notes. I thought I was fairly well up on European history but I have learnt some more today - thanks for sharing the flowers and history - Ronnie

Very interesting notes you provided. I'll have to show my mom. and the flag colors, red, white and blue. So many variations of these colors.
The flowers, mums, are a good symbol for the flag.
good show
