I am fully aware of the position that some members have regarding photographing/posting flowers.

In spite of those views (which I respect), I cannot stop myself from posting this picture! I keep coming back to it and I seem to like it more each time I look at it.

I love to see really good images whatever the subject. This happens to fall into my really good image category.

I can't see anyone objecting to such a lovely picture.

Beautiful.  I'd like to see the stem on the bottom a LITTLE brighter, but that's being really picky.

No, no! It's cat photos that Michael doesn't want to see! Flowers are fine. And this is a great example.

The cool thing about flowers are that you can shoot them indoors too. Mind you there are lots of other things one could shoot indoors.

As Michael Ezra, for one, so ably demonstrates!
