Ballerina begins to twirl by Jan Timmons
Tiny cyclamen bud before it unfurls into a unique small flower. I love to watch these tiny pink ballerinas in tutus. I wish I could’ve kept dancing.
Unedited from RAW. Natural light. More fun with extension tubes!

This just takes my breath away, it is simply divine, literally, heavenly. The focus etc is just perfect. As I said a perfect card for a newborn baby girl. Adorable. I want it on my wall. Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
What wonderful enthusiasm, Soaps!

Love the softness here – both the curve and the colours compliment each other. Brilliant framing by getting that darker flower behind it … really makes it pop.
No flies on you, Vikram!
