Beautiful Deb. I love the focus being on the center of the open flower.

Swans (and a pigeon)

Whoa, this is so nice. He want's to join them but it's so funny that he's so small. The sweet spot is just on the right place. I'd just use different toning, the bluish gray [if there is a color like that ;-)] does not emphasize the opposition of these fellows, I mean, I'd make the swans be white to death and the pigeon black as death.

Can I just tell you how much I adore this? It has a gentleness. The BW is super. Loving that I can see the veins on the flower. Thos nubby buds slightly out of focus are awesome.
