Wow Leona, this an amazing set of photographs bursting with colour and the detail in all of them is so sharp and clear. The rainbow and it's lovely framing is a very creative way of showing a natural wonder. All of them are stunning and so very well presented.

Dave.

The shots are pretty good, but are the borders really necessary? I find them highly distracting and detrimental to the pictures.

Gorgeous! These are spectacular Leona. Can't pick a favorite, because I like them all. As for the borders, I don't think they hurt the images at all, though they can stand by themselves just as well. Good job all around!

Nicotine....if they are that distracting to you, you needn't look at them...and you certainly don't need to comment. Perhaps you need a cigarette?

Jamfke, thank you for your comments...you are too kind. I agree the shots can stand on their own, but I enjoy fooling around in picnik while I am learning photoshop and it's just my preference. Thanks again.

Leona, a delightful splash of color in all of these. I love the vibrancy of the rainbow against that beautiful blue sky and your grass seed heads are a gentle reminder that a seasonal change will seen be here.

Hi Leona,

I love them all and I really like the frames!! I've never heard of picnik, I usually play in CS3.
