These blossoms are irresistible, or such a perfect moon-white. I am greatly entertained by the liberties this comp takes with their colors, what fun!

I was attracted by the color right away & then lingered to enjoy the detail. I love a good border, don't get me wrong, but this is not the right border for this comp, IMHO. [eta] Because, the border should not call attention to itself & because this one did, for me. It makes me think of a plain wood frame. Because, if I was going to frame this to hang on the wall, a simple, narrow wood frame would not be my choice. Because, framing is so personal, it's almost a guarantee that whatever you pick for your border/frame will please only you best. Because, if it was for myself, I would've made a border that falls away rather that 'frames' the subject, because that blossom is really interesting & your capture of it only adds to it's best qualities of form & line & color. Well I hope this helps explain. It's late, I can almost see the bottom of my vodka shooter, I'm free-associating here!

I like the series, too, & this one is my pick because of the way the black interacts w/the color. They would all make interesting overlays, too.

This kind of cracks me up. The restricted point of view elevates a simple red bouy to great importance, but it's still a simple red bouy out there floating around. I like the way it pulls my gaze left & right.

WOW. Impressive! and inspiring. The black & the smoky grey-blue veiling those very alert eyes create emotion that keeps me looking.

This is just prescious & the overlay gives it a timeless look.
