I like the comp on this picture. The many shades of orange also make it an appealing picture. Great job!

Hi Sandy,

Interesting technique to use a watercolored paper as a background.

This image has a very painterly effect.

Cheers,

Carol

Lovely, soft tones and a nice sense of movement in the composition, Sandy. I rather like the arc made by the paper bg - the petals seem to be drawn towards it !

Many congratulations on your 5000 mark - and thank you for your always interesting and helpful comments.
