After a unseasonably cool April, Spring has finally sprung. These daffs are from the garden (finally something in bloom :cool: )

Bob: You must be channeling your inner Pat :wink:. I love your vase and the overall comp. I especially like the bloom on the tabletop and the reflection. My only tiny nit would be the clipped reflection but this does work great for me as is. Really well done.>=))>

Well composed, particularly with the fallen flower. Wonderful color.

Sweet Bob. Unsure about the reflections off the glass vase but definitely no biggie. I like it very much overall.

Regarding Bill's comment: "channeling your inner Pat." WAAHAHAHA! :biggrin:

Bob:
Really fabulous and love the reflection of the single bloom on the table. Yes, looks like you are in Pat's domain.

Stunning portrait Bob. The bloom on the table pushes this over the top for me. :toast: :toast:

Beautifully done, Bob ! Superb control of the colour and lighting - especially in the highlights on the glass and, once again, that fallen petal adds so much.

A very compelling still life, Bob. The lighting here is superb. The single daff on the glass compliments those in the vase perfectly. :toast:
