    I really like the interesting mix of colors on the peachish(?) background. What is the background anyway? Nice shot!

    That is simply beautiful
    And your wife’s legs as the back ground, was that planned? It worked either way. MM

    What an interesting flower David, love the colours, the shape.
    The flower facing down has a beautiful centre, as does the open one.

    You'll be able to hire your wifes legs out as a backdrop hehehehe!
