quite an amazing part of nature that you've captured here. It's like a fairy carriage or an elf's condo (!). The colors in the total photo are beautiful and compatible and the softening you did in the background works well, including the other bulb. Overall technique is enviable. Thank you for sharing.

Nice shot focus Mary Eileen with a fab DOF.
Diggin' the colors, clarity and the "floating" like appearance.
I am on the fence about a tighter crop..to crop or not too crop..
Fine shot ;)

    Thank you..I did do one with a very tight crop and I liked that one too.

Awesomeness. I am trying to find appropriate words to write this review. Because this gorgeous beauty is not meant to be judged. It's meant to be stared and enjoy. I like the way you have focused a specific matter and left a entire background by making it blur. Seems worthy as it is appealing and it has attractive red . good mixed media work. it's hell of a hot creation. Well done.

This is a unique photo Mary Eileen. I though it was a glass ornament when I first viewed it. Beautiful colors, and a great perspective with the branch defined in your DOF.

Your colors are vivid...in your opening bud and in your background. I think that is a good decision as this is an artistic composition and the overall scene is important for your story. I knew it was something hanging from a tree. :D Nice work! thanks for sharing!

Xoxoxo...this is cool! Concept is excellent. Execution is smart. The blurry part beautifies the in focus beginning to open bud.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent close up or is it already a macro shot?!?
Fine detailed features & textures.
Nice overhead lighting.
Very narrow DOF.
Warm colors & subtle illumination.
Thanks for sharing...

As I live in the U.K. I am not familiar with the Plnk Dogwood! Ivan see though that your shot is well composed, sharp and has good exposure. Well done!
