Comment by GinaRothfels:
Beautiful image.

Around here Lantana grow like weeds and we had a garden full of them last summer. Then when it got hot and dry a lot of them died off and I suspect winter may have destroyed the rest of them. Except for one cutting I've grown in a pot which seems to be doing okay except that the plant is a lousy shape. I'll have to try and improve on it next summer because they can make really beautiful bonsai trees and that's what I was trying for.

Love the subtle aspects of this shot. Everything seems to be just a little soft, the colours are just a little below the poppy sort of colours you'd expect, it's amazing!

It would have taken a lot of work but it would have been a great benefit to you had you been able to make the dragon look less like a figurine. That aside everything else is good. You match the lighting and the color and clarity give it pop.

Again a sot focus, but who could object to that given the subject. Lovely muted colours which added to the focus and your daughters wistful expression gives a real dream like feel to the shot
