The pictures are very beautiful. "Purple Star" looks like it has mountains in the background, and I KNOW there are no mountains in Chicago ... weird! I also take it from your picture smelling the apple blossoms that you don't suffer from allergies?

I find some of the borders a bit too colourful - IMHO, let the flowers speak for themselves, maybe just a black or white mat. Also, the words at the bottom (name of flower to left, sig to right), they are left and right indented, but, at least in some cases, not the same on both sides, which, again IMHO, makes it look a bit unbalanced.

Lucky you to be out and about at the Botanical Gardens! Here it's been raining, and it doesn't look like it'll stop any time soon (sounds of crying in the background ...)

Kosta, these are wonderful photographs. All could be in a brochure for the gardens. I would like to know if you used a tripod for your shots? I went to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens after work yesterday and got some nice shots - used my tripod each time because I can't seem to get a good photo without it. Here's my favorite from yesterday. IrisThere is a photography contest going on at the Bellevue Gardens so I hope to go back there several times more. Yesterday was the first time I have ever been to that place -- photography has really opened my eyes.
