Beautiful - I love the soft look of the flowers, and the colors!

Wow, just beautiful Helen; almost looks like it's under ultraviolet light! I really like it!

Thanks, all, for the comments! I was really uncertain about entering this one, but I liked it so much just decided to take a chance.

Great pastel look to the colors, Helen.

Helen, I love the simplicity and colouring of your shot, the real flowers make it special.

Wow, supernatural flowers. I love the "contrast" of the squared door and the circular set up of the flowers.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments, Sky! I realize this could be a somewhat boring shot, but really, the wreath was just stunning and made from live flowers, I believe. I was so taken with it that I immediately wanted to learn how to make wreaths for my door, too! (Of course, I still haven't, LOL.) And I know that beer truck feeling ;-).

Helen, I made a typo below. Should read, "as IS the shot". I did a bit of yard work yesterday AND I'm so 'not here' today. I feel like I've been hit by a beer truck.

Oooh - I'd love to have this wreath hanging on my front door. It's gorgeous, Helen - as it the shot! Nicely framed too. I think you were savvy in choosing not to center the main subject. Beautiful colors here too with a perfect title.
