Good use of "size" to define your subject! This one is really good becuse the whites aren't blown out! I also like the repetition of shape here! Very well done!

@craiger: It was a semi-cloudy day, so I think it helped keep the white balanced.
Thanks Craig, I always appreciate your visits and comments!!

If they smell as good as they look, I'm guessing you were in heaven when you took this one.

Absolutely lovely again Jen! The green and white are great and the flowers beautiful. Really like the composition too! Ansel Adams made a few quotes, but haven't heard this one before - really good one.
