Stunning... love the contrasting colors, details and light, Heather!! #9484455frank w. degenhardt June 25, 2011
WOW girl, this is beautiful. What you did with that lighting is amazing and what a gorgeous look it gives this floral. I love the framing and composition, the way that the lighting dazzles the colors and I am so impressed with the little details being so sharp. You bring out the textures and I love the little things like the veins running through the petals. I think you have yourself a winner my friend. Stunning in its beauty.Gord MacEachern June 25, 2011
