I think you've done a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of these pansies. Wonderful color shown here. The background is cancelled out bringing the flowers to the foreground so nicely.

What a pretty image. The colors are bouncing off the screen, very soft and inviting. Details are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Overall a new presentation.

A happy looking bunch of pancies. Lovely capture. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Lovely pansies. They're small but you have surely magnified this for the viewer. The plain dark gray background made them stands out, too. Points of improvement is to clone this one from the lower right hand corner at the bottom. Also, the some of the white petals are a bit too bright. A good white balance control management can also improve that.

Hi Michele.. When I was helping out the High School Photography Club one of the students asked me why I took so much and effort photographing Pansies.

My reply was quick and succinct - "Because Pansies in particular are always smiling. So, it is my duty to photograph them in the best possible way." Just as you have done with this example.

This shot is among the finest I have ever done. The colors are so bright and vibrant. All edge lines are crisp and sharp.

This one is very well done... Bob

Hi Michele, Your pansies are grouped nicely with their similar design through out. And sprigs of grass have found their way into the frame being a garden shot. Pansies plants are so cool they all have their own design. Very nicely presented. Ray

Well I love pansies! I love their fragrance and the way each one is just a bit different they look as if they were created using a tiny paintbrush to apply the perfect pattern. They are such happy faced flowers!
This little clump is uplifting to view. I like the way you filled the frame and your focus on that pink petaled one on lower right!
Well composed and presented!
