HOT Texas Loc: From the Heart of Texas

I want be here this weekend, so here is a Happy Mother's Day early to all you Mom's out there.

I also want to say to all the girl's here, You are awesome, Not only are all you great photographers, but some of the most talented people I know, You are also so nice, sweet and thoughtful and so kind.
I do not know what this forum would be like if it wasn't for you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I hope you like it, if you don't it's the thought that counts
This Cosmos Flower was shot with a Minolta X500 film camera with a Minolta 135mm lens with a extinction tube.
The software and effects used was The Gimp Painter, On1 Raw Effects and Zoner Pro Studio.

Again Happy Mother's Day I sure hope you have a good one!!!!!!
