Man, that's perfection! It's got color contrasts, shape contrasts, and soft light to die for. Bravo!

Love how the pattern is punctuated by the larger leaves of corn lily. Perfect comp, textures and color. Well done!

wow
just awesome
i would crop a bit off the left edge to get rid of the cut-off flowers and balance the pattern a little better....if it were mine
but you obviously have things under control

I second Mitchell's crop suggestion. The 4X5 trannie must be a real joy to look at on the light table. Nice stuff!

Beautiful Joseph...I think I love these intimate landscapes more than the real ones and this is a killer...wish you had provided a larger view, I'll bet from a 4x5 the details are amazing
