    This is wonderful Kathy! I love the way it’s a ‘floral smile’ ....it just sends out a message of happiness. I really like the way you’ve composed this in the right corner….it’s given it a terrific impact. The light and shadow areas on the petals is wonderful with the way it’s created such a depth too. It’s beautiful!!!

    completely agree with Lavender…..i also love the usage of shadow in this. so often the ‘in you’re face’ bright colors just melt away the interest…and u added the darks to this that so brings OUT my interest!
