Life and work haven't afforded the opportunity to make photos of dramatic locations, so I had to improvise. This was taken from my wife's anniversary bouquet. She liked the flowers and I got a subject. Lighted by flash.

Lovely detail, Russell. I think you handled the color very well; I would suggest adding a little more headroom to the top of the image.

Regards,

Carol

This elegant model is wearing a beautiful dress. The middle of the scene is its right place.
Take care.
