Two of my favorite things on earth, my hubby and chocolate. Only, both are missing from this pic :wink




This one represents my love for God. This little town I live in takes pride in this white steeple church.



I love flowers! Here are a couple shots from Sunday afternoon.

Take this with a grain of salt, but here goes. You might number the shots in the future - it's easier to comment that way.
First shot - I like that it's lacking color the same way it's lacking the things you love, but without your explanation, it's hard to see the story - and I couldn't tell that there aren't any chocolates in the box.
Second shot - Like the lighting, but not thrilled with the tail light going through the shot - and it is leaning to the right a little. I like the idea & think it would look nice if the church were more prominent, and maybe from the vantage point to the right of the cars and closer so the pole & overhead wires aren't in the middle of the shot. A reshoot maybe?
First flower shot - I like the moodiness of this shot & the composition, but for some reason it just doesn't grab me.
Second flower shot - This is my favorite of this set. I like the colors, the dof & the shape of the stamens. It seems to me that it might be more pleasing if it were turned on its side or maybe even upside down, or maybe a different crop.
Hope this helps. I really do like the church idea - especially with the star, very appropriate imo.

I love flowers, too, and photos of flowers. I like the "pose" of the flower in the first photo better, but the light seems a bit harse. I like the lighting in the second photo, but not the pose so much. Can you reshoot some more flowers?
