By smokeydawg (2008-05-06 22:27:24 ): Thanks Stephanie! Carl

By littlepeanut (2008-05-06 19:22:27 ): beautiful saturated colors. I'm not a fan of colored frames, so I think this would be even better either without the frame, or just a thin frame. But the photo for me is what counts, which is lovely.

By audlee (2008-05-06 16:16:57 ): Carl, this has a wonderful blend of artsy/commercial elements. So nicely done. really like the border bleeding and bold.

By jimdstearns (2008-05-06 03:31:20 ): Nicely done Carl. Love the dressing you put on the "image". I think the frame althrough well done all most over powers the image....

By GuitarGodsWife (2008-05-05 23:15:45 ): I love the edge treatment here. It really goes well with the image imo. The different shades of fuschia are incredible.

By smokeydawg (2008-05-05 02:32:15 ): Thanks Deborrah! Carl

By deborrah (2008-05-04 23:30:26 ): I really like the off centered-ness of the whole image..and the frame is a great touch...very well done~

By smokeydawg (2008-05-04 13:40:48 ): Thanks Katia. Carl

By Isachsen (2008-05-04 09:01:19 ): Simple but bold and striking. That red frame also adds to the bit of dramatic feel here.

By ktapio (2008-05-04 04:50:03 ): Carl you got the eye. Well, I could writ you a page of compliments such a really nice image. katia

By smokeydawg (2008-05-04 01:53:35 ): Thanks Michael. The light was all Mother Nature and a small curves adj in ps to boost the darks a bit. Carl

By smokeydawg (2008-05-04 01:52:19 ): Thanks Tanja, I give Mother Nature the credit, she provided the light. Carl

By smokeydawg (2008-05-04 01:51:26 ): Thanks Janith! The light was all mother nature expect for a small curves adj to boost the darks a smidge. But other then the framing, resizing, it was the only ps. The light is what caught my attention to it, was heading out to pick up my granddaughter for a few hours, had to go back inside to get the camera. The bud was in between some shaded areas from a tree with the sun hitting it perfectly. Appx 3pm in the afternoon. Carl

By janith (2008-05-04 01:32:23 ): Carl, the frame adds so much depth to this (and I like that it's blended) but the lighting is what really sets it off. Mother Nature, foresight, or PS hindsight?

By sonoranhawk (2008-05-04 00:01:58 ): Beautiful. Good background. How did you light this?

By somagni (2008-05-03 23:25:33 ): You have made an ordinary flower look extraordinary. Wonderful DOF and I really like the framing.
