Oooo... I love that spiral. Flowers are so facinating.

Great lighting here too. Even the background has an interesting green marble texture. The tiny bit of pink poking out is pretty cute, heh.

Got to agree with violinist. That was my very first though also: french fries! The intense yellow the frying oil.

Black-eyed susans are one of my favorite flowers - definitely cheery! And the little bee is an added bonus - lovely shot

i like the choice of intense close up for these flowers - very unworldly looking

...there's a story there. Sorry your kid doesn't have driving privileges for a while. You are a patient mom.

back to the point at hand: Hey, those alien 'worms' are cute and fun. If it was mine, I might crop down to the top of the sharp guys and the left side to the leaf. The slightly OOF leaves cradle them, and give a base of operations.

Move it around on your monitor. See what you think.

Sorry to hear about your stress (is your daughter going back to school?)--my apartment complex just kind of emptied out at the end of July as many people went back to school, I can park anywhere now! "D

Waterlilies are so interesting. I never thought of having a half-barrel with a waterlily & I might just give it a try next summer. It would give the birds some water to drink, too.

I can see sentinels in this, & I like the DOF. I am a complete sucker for waterlilies, though!
