Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


This is a very impacting composition - heart touching as the way you have placed the flower in these hands reflects the caring nature - love for flowers and fragility of such a bloom - a wonderful composition - harmonious and soft - these hands also reflect healing presenting harmony and life in union
your objects are clear and sharp and the way you have placed the leaves bring a perfect 3D perspective in this picture
excellent DOF - soft genuine color range with a magic background - well done

This one could also be named, "Beautiful Hands Holding Beauty" because both are beautiful making for a complete beautiful work. Just love your photographic style with the faded background supporting the subject matter. Reasons for my five star vote.

A beautiful image. The hand adds a different element that I find quite attractive. I like the detail in the blossom and its outstanding colors. I also like the rather subtle effects used on the background.

You have never spoken a truer word! Like your full and central composition. Love the way that female hand delicately caresses that beautiful rose bloom. Exposure and sharpness are good. Great image!

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental


Hi avmurray

What a delicate image this is. I like how the flower seems to rest on the softest of palms thanks to the faded background. Beautiful creation! R

Comment from nature rules


Very emotive! It brings back fond memories of my mother for some reason... the hand reminds me of hers before they were arthritic....gentle and graceful... And the Hibiscus is a perfect choice for the beautiful hands....as even though they are rather large blossoms...they are fragile. These hands seem to be protecting it.

Your choices in this creation are beautiful in light and shadows and the pure white and framing.. The pink shadows around the flower continue the gentle theme as does the cushion below it.

Well done, Annie. This would make a beautiful Mother's Day card. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful work, Annie. I am always inspired by your art. Your techniques are so unique. Best of all, you inspire me learn "how'd she do that?" :) In this one, I will be researching how to brush out a background. I just love your work. You are a true artist. Thanks so much for sharing and teaching.
