This and the last photo are both stunning but in different ways, you are so artistic

Kaya said...

Ohh, if the last picture showed a glory of a beautiful yellow flower. This picture is showing the gentleness and modest beauty.

Dear Lisa, you mastered your photographs of flowers to perfection. The background is terrific with a wonderful light. And the tall beauty is so artistic and so delicate.

Stunning and gorgeous art!!!! I love it very, very much.

Warm spring wishes to you, my dear talented friend.

This is a particularly beautiful composition Lisa! Larry

Kim Stevens said...

Standing tall....that is perfect. I love the composition on this too!

Brenda said...

Lisa - such a lovely image. It makes me wonder how it can stand so tall and proud and graceful - the stem doesn't appear to be strong enough to support the flower. Also really like the way you retained the leaves and stems at the bottom, adding additional diagonal elements. Wonderful composition.
