Thanks so much.

Comment from Joanna P
Very nice treatment of the leaves with their soft stippled texture and the black
detail. The pale orchid color in the background is the perfect contrast to the leaves. Well done!

Comment from debbie johnson
Incredible composition and talent. Pin point sharp details and delightfully soft shadows.Enchanting lavender pastel background deepening into turquoise for wonderful depth. Very curious to know the name of this bush. Thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts and tinkers with us.
