thank you stan. yes, this does appear to be the same flower but obviously it is not (if you read the name of the artist under the other image. you can see our names are different) actually, i'm a friend of the one who submitted the image called "suggestion." i borrowed the flower for this image so, of course, i'm happy you like this entry better. it's rather uncomfortable being in competition w my friend, especially since we are sharing that same fake bloom!! l.a.parade
Nice photo, like the comp and shadows, appears to be the same flower as in Suggestion, excuse me for the acusation if I am wrong. Like this better ~StanP
Oh, I like this very much! It looks more like an illustration to me than a photograph but I think that is just what I like about it. It is beautifully designed and composed with such a delicate touch. Good work, Ms. Parade! ~Sharon
