So, not all is doom and gloom and harsh contrast and blackness in your world. Glad to see there is room for soft shapes and peach-colored roses too. :P ;) A nice one!

Sigh. You must be rubbing off on my Slobodan!

Nicely done, David!  My wife Marcia is renowned in our photo group for her flower/macro work using her cell phone camera (although I do push stuff around in LR for her). You can see some of her work here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfnowl/sets/72157634686854104/

No, because it's a photograph. A very nice photograph, to be sure, but still a photograph. A pastel is a drawing created with pastels.

I thought about that when I posted 'cause I knew that from high school art class! Glad to see you folks on your toes! I should have said, "Do these qualify as pastel colors?" ;) Slobodan really is rubbing off on me, I fear.
