Waves

The peak of a display of pinkish white rhododendrons - the flowers so fulsome this year that they often obscured the leaves.

Flowers for the bride. A wedding is the first thing that the colors of the image calls to my mind. Photo and flowers are beautiful, the composition is creative.
Take care.

Love the gentle, warm colors of the flowers floating against the sky and oof clouds. I could see just a touch more space on the bottom and right, but that's a minor nit on a lovely image.

Feel like I'm looking at the Cistine ceiling. This is gorgeous. Great sense of space combined with gorgeous color. Certainly one of my favorites.
