Hello Mr. Mc Lemore, I don't remembere having seen your photos before & I don't think, even at my age, that I would forget such beauty. Thank you for your comment. Your flower desrves a companion & I'll send you one, also from the garden of Monet. Regads, Rafi Springmann
The composition is elegant, the subject is very well defined and the tonality of colors in the flower is superb (there is no uniform red in the whole flower!); the dof and background work well, too. THe only problem I have with the picture, aside from the obvious lack of originality, is that the overall colors seem a little dead. Bye,Luca
