Beautiful. Thanks. I'm partial to the geraniums, but like the whole set.

My wife had the insight that flowers scream "choose me, choose me" to attract their pollinators. It works for us people too.

thanks Dave. I can agree with your wife. Love the wonderful variety and many colors of flowers. My favorite though, are roses...though photo-wise, I love all varieties. :D

thanks Carly.....yes, this particular rose is actually more stunning in sepia than it's original color, which is pinkish-red. I'll post another rendition of it in a bluish tint and see if you like that.

yes, I like color popping, too...and this one really needed it, as the rest of it was not important to the photo, in color.

I love artistic flowers, colors shapes and composition all in the eye of the artist. This group has quite a few talented artists within its pages.

Yours are amongst the best I have seen for this type of working.
