Hello Steve, how are you?
Tks so much, that is the natural state of the sky's colouring that day, it made some other images rather difficult to clone out wiring/trees from, hehe.

I am not really all that excited by flower pictures anymore, maybe because their are so many, but this one is quite stunning demonstrates your quite talented
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
Hi June, boy, it is really hard to match these colors of vivid sky blue and white. Great shot and the clarity is phenomenal!! I still like the background nature provides the best I think. Maybe that is one of my problems, never altering patterns enough! Ha! Sincerly, Marilyn
Hi June! I have to agree with all of the above. This one really caught my eye. I love the simplicity yet astounding beauty of the flower with the brilliant blue background. I also like the angle you took this picture from. Outstanding! You do such good work! I put this one in my favorites.
Wow, I somehow missed this one the first time around! Simply lovely! Chrysanthemum is my birthday flower, and to tell the truth, I've never really cared for them until now! Beautiful work, June!

You know, I see a LOT of flowers here on Caedes but yours kind of sticks out. Like this one in particular. Perfectly balanced in every way. Good Job! Itīs a favourite now.
Wow, wow, wow...I have missed that stunning shot until now..to be honest, everything was already said here. One of the most amazing shots of a flower I have ever seen. You can really be proud. The C-Index is a joke, some of the voters were definitely blind. Such a freshness, amazing clarity...love it!!
JuneBug, I do believe this is my all time favorite image of yours. It's simplicity speaks of understated elegance, purity, serenity with simplicity.
Well done luv :o)
