This one's for My Lady. She who started me in this passion

Gorgeous! Hands down my favorite of all your flower shots! Beautiful color, texture and lighting.

Not unless we buy a printer and install air conditioning. One of our realities is that tropical humidity and photographs are a very bad combination. We chose the side of a sleeping volcano rather than the beach so we would not need aircon but we still have constant high humidity. So for now the framed copy will be electronic.

I'm glad your lady got you started in photography, otherwise we would be missing your wonderful shots posted here!

One of the reasons for helping to create the garden/temple is that i don't have to bring the flowers home. It is amazing how much trouble an erring husband can get out of when there is a rose garden in the backyard. :)

the colour and texture can be credited to editing in RAW. I simply could not have got the subtleties if I had shot in JPEG. (others with greater skills may well be able to but not me)
