this is beautiful Margaret ..
I don't think it was a mistake at all .. I love the different views you show us of your world ..

case in point this photo ..

I think it's lovely and beautifully done but from my own very recent experience you will probably be hit hard with low scores by voters who hate this kind of thing with art and texture filters and feel justified in punishing it with low scores. 7

Looks like something bordering expert editing. But I like the colors and unforced integration of the pencils into the otherwise more conventional still life.
