Really good work on this one thumb

Nice!! The stem and sepals look like green velvet on my monitor.

You're really awesome for a beginner. I see an artistic element in your photos, do you mind if I ask if you've had art classes in your background?

Thanks, Joie. As for the art classes, no I don't. But I do read books to educate myself about art and photography when I have the chance. Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work.
