I would have been first but I had to clean the mess I made when I looked at these

I hope KW likes them

I would like 2 as a vertical comp getting rid of the blech on the left I'm betting our pal Mr. W would also

Tony, #1 probably reminds you of salvia blech because it is

KW is going to drool all over herself when she sees this

I tried your suggestion on the 2nd one and I think it was a big improvement. What do you think?

Let's see if I've got this right. The blech in the second is overwhelmed by the blech in the first?

The re-work is, of course, in a class all by itself.

Please check MY spelling:

saliva: n. The watery mixture of secretions from the salivary and oral mucous glands that lubricates chewed food, moistens the oral walls, and contains ptyalin.

belch: v.intr. To expel gas noisily from the stomach through the mouth; burp.

Hey Rob, if you want to see someone who really respects flowers you're looking in the wrong place - blech

I was thinking I might take a little more off the sides, flip the image, invert it, trim some more off the bottom, then invert and flip it again. Yep, that should do it

FYI, in Ohio salvia divinorum is illegal to grow. It is considered a controlled substance.

No comment

But you'll hear it when I see you out there next.

Too funny

Ken as in Mr Zoom photographing flowers. This is the day I have to draw an X in the ceiling based upon one of my grade school teachers.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
Hamlet Act 3, scene 2, 222–230

But we should perhaps be more careful of what we post Ken, for is not a picture worth a thousand words!
And there could be many interpretations, such as:

A wonderful profusion of explosive color in the first one. The intricate direction of the flowers, superbly blurred, draws the eye up to a higher plateau, perhaps towards the ceiling where Lil had symbolically made the X mark. This fading but obviously pseudo phallic symbolism suggests a turning point in life where a realization of a softer side of one's nature is being reluctantly acknowledged. This is inherently portrayed by the full frontal embracement of the delicate yet vibrant yellows of the flower in the second shot set so well against the fading influence of the first and projecting a bold emergence from a lifetime of denial of a sensitive and passionate nature.

This may take some more time Ken but congratulations on your first small but firm steps so far

Watch out for those sisterly man hugs

Hi David,

Never let it be said that I'm not open to C&C
