Golden duo...

I wish we already had more than one golden medal on the Olympics. After today I am sure we will have more gold, maybe two or three...
Anyway I am in need of a bit of sunshine in our real Dutch summer, with a lot of rain. These Marsh marigolds were flowering in April when the weather was fine and I was still dreaming of a long warm summer...

Great subject capture Ellen. I might prefer a tad more space on the right, but not a deal breaker by any means. Good work in my opinion.

Beautiful composition & subject! I like the way you handled the background as well! Is there slightly too much greenish cast? It is hard to tell as it is all green & yellow!

The detail in the centers of these blooms is excellent Ellen. A very nice capture of this pair.
