A brown eyed susan resting in the shade of an apple tree beside my front door. It was taken mid-morning this past summer.

Cool shot Larry! Looks a bit like a spider to me. Nicely done - the feeling of shade certainly comes across.

Great use of dappled light to set those petals so nicely.

Oh, Larry! You got some super-sweet light on this one. This is about as good as a BES can get.

Larry -

A very dreamy approach, and I very much like the way the dappled light draws the eye to the various dark and light areas.

This has such a strong aura, Larry - there's an almost forbidding feel to it. What a great capture !

Excellent work. The light makes it, even for a less than perfect specimen.

This is great, Larry. The dappled light here creates a wonderful mood and image. I like how the susan seems to be hanging in midair.

For me this depicts a certain amount of intrigue and dark moodiness. Love it, the lighting, the colors, just a great image, in my opinion. May
