I'm sorry to hear of the lens loss Cherly, but I am sure glad you got this wonderful image. I really like the sharp edges with color fading to OOF. Superb work in my opinion.

Lovely, Cheryl. Good DOF choice and the colors are pretty without being too vibrant
or over-saturated. The areas of sharpness and crisp detail are appropriate. The
serpentine lines are another plus.

Oh, wow! Sigh... this is dreamy delicious and such a mysterious abstract. Congratulations.

Soooo sorry about your lens, though. That's painful... It sure gave you a fabulous last hurrah of an image in your very capable hands.
