Lovely light and DOF in this image Mel, the subtle colour and your processing is just splendid, a really beautiful image here.

Beautiful, Melissa ... I love the way you've directed the viewers eye into the delicate beauty of the flower and buds ... the green and tinges of violet/purple are beautiful counterpoints to the golden background ... tells a visual story: what was ... what is ... and what will someday be ...

@paulski: Thanks! Yeah, I thought I'd better get out there before there aren't anymore flowers to take pictures of. I've already noticed the leaves are starting to turn here. Last year the leaves didn't turn until later in the Fall. Thanks again!

Another good photo (I'm working my way backwards). I took some photos of hostas today. Hope they come out as well as this one.

not quite as huge a fan of the composition in this one, the lines keep pulling me down into the bottom of the picture and out of the frame. but beautiful tones, light, color, dof
