Jude, this is magic!!! i LOVE the fabulous dof … you’ve got detail everywhere!!! And the flowing form of the petals added to the colors blending so beautifully and you’ve got a very contemplative and tension-easing image. i see it blown up to nearly wall size in a fabulous New York apartment … all minimalist … lots of white … light beaming in everywhere … and good coffee in a plain porcelain cup. Ahhhh … there you have it!!!!
chijude replied
Lois Lois Lois!! Your lovely words have me smiling smiling!! And thank you so much for the thought you have put into them! The favourite is a lovely bonus. Love the “all minimalist …lots of white” .... know what you mean. Learning to trust myself a little more!!.
