I like the comp of this photo with the soft texture and gentle flow of the petals. Nice white.

This was probably my fav of yours from this year Ian. I love the wave effect here.

Sweet image Ian. Great lines, and I really like the simplicity of the two colors.

I love all the motion in this, Ian. I remember it, and on 2nd look, wouldn't it be amazing if the bright white line in the upper center was blended into the surroundings a little more? It's the only straight line and dang if it didn't have to be dazzling white... It's a sensational shot and well worth seeing again and again.
