This is fine, fine, Marion. I love the textures, tones, shapes. There are a few hot pixels (I think that's what they are called - small white dots) that distract; they would be easy to remove.

How very interesting - nice detail on the bees and I love the textural contrasts here, Marion.

Love that this looks desaturated, but is the actual color.

Lovely. I spent several minutes taking this in. The wide border color seems to help reinforce the tones.

I really like the juxtaposition of the soft colors and the sharpness all the way through.

As a great dane owner...I'm thinking great dane mixed with one of the sight hounds, possibly whippet, I suppose (although I'm having a hard time imagining how that would be physically possible). Probably a breed with ears that stand up, because natural great dane ears are big and floppy, almost like a labrador retriever. But those feet and the coloring are all great dane.

Aw yes, you truly created a very accurate shot of the fading glory of a hydrangea - lovely detail and an image that is soft but not for lack of focus .. just lovely.
