This one, well it seems like I should be embarrassed to be looking. But the colors were just to amazing not to. This is SOOC

isn't it amazing how some flowers - from different angles - resembled an animal or an object .. three of those are included here in your beautiful images .. very soft feel and pleasant to these eyes .. very nice

Susan your work improves with every posting ans these are four more more outstanding pictures. My favourite is the first, I like this one for its colours and tones, its softness and DoF, for its fragility and subtleness, and mainly because its just great

I'm with Fred - love the way you composed the first one. Nice depth to that photo. Very nice set. And good for you to have such a target rich environment right in your backyard.
