Usually we have some paperwhites that herald spring around here but for some reason they didn't flower this yearcheeky. But our little wedding roses rose to the challenge. All comments welcome.>=))>

Nice composition, subject and clean background.  It is so encouraging to see flowers starting to bloom.  Its been a long winter.

Very nice, Bill, and I like the Art version too.  They remind me of my wild onion blooms, pretty little flowers with an irresistible aroma.

Very well composed. Good exposure and the dark bg makes the flower the blooms "pop" I just wish the middlle flower on the left was sharper.

Sweet, sweet, sweet! No nits at all and a couple of huzzahs to boot! On the downhill side, your Photo Art version is gilding the lily, IMO.devildevil

Gorgous, Bill. In a perfect setting, I would not mind a bit more room at the bottom to give the central flower something breathing space, but that's a very minor nit to a beautiful floral image.
