[Dreamin]

Don't worry about my weather.....it's up and down, but where Maryland is located, and I'm on the peninsula of MD......we don't usually get anything really bad....protected by the gulf stream and the bay waters. We will get snow flurries on Saturday, but all will be fine by Sunday, and no accumulations......Now where Rich and Lorell live, oh, my! They are still in the throes of winter.....may it not be too harsh on them.
Dave, this is a most beautiful rose.....lovely colors. Your yellows are spot on on my monitor.....love the background greens!! Sharp! Well shot!!
Dave, I have a question about your choice of composition......you do this a lot.....you place the flower opening close to the edge, with more background behind it. Do you do this intentionally? Is it your intentional style? I was just wondering....To me, it creates a bit of drama/tension......where as I would follow (and don't ask me where I got this rule) I would folllow the rule of putting this rose closer to bottom left, so that the bud opens towards the top right with a larger portion of the back ground in the top right corner. To my eye, that would be more relaxing......but as I said, it may be the tension you are seeking on purpose.....Just wondering.
