billyboy, 3 months ago

Hey Marion, I just scrolled through the tons of comments on this and was blown away I hadn`t put my two cents in. This is awesome, and by far one of the most stunning flower shots I have ever seen. It`s like a furnace burns deep within to supply the power to amaze, and the curves form such a beautiful composition with my gaze falling perfectly on the stamen (is that what those things are called?) Thanks for blowing me away this AM!!!

Lumineux in reply to billyboy’s comment, 3 months ago
