Striking image and powerful colours, they say odd groups work better than even but sometimes you don't get the choice.

Reminds me of a Dorothy Parker anecdote. When she was playing a word game where a player was given a word to use in a sentence creatively, she got Horticulture. Her sentence was "you can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think"

Cheers on a stellar shot, Georgia O'keefe would be proud.


This was my favorite comment! Thanks!

Nice one! not very close to the subject in my opinion though. Perhaps a closer shot of a single flower would have been more relevant
