Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Everyone seems to be doing B&W, which is OK, just not my favorite, but this Lorraine is gorgeous, the color in the middle makes the plant just pop. I guess I am a funny person but whenever I see a B&W I always long to see the picture in color, you have satisfied that longing. Great.

@Marion: I'm happy to know that Marion, thanks so much :)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Ahh, picasa strikes again. And with a vengeance. You have created a metaphor of Spring emerging fresh and green, breaking through the dreary whites and grays of winter. Beautiful, m'lady.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

Viewfinder m'a volé mon interprétation de cette photo, j'arrive trop tard !!
La couleur printanière triomphant du gris de l'hiver, oui c'est bien cela que je perçois ici, et cette vision me plaît bien.... et vive la couleur !!!

12 May 2008 4:31pm

@Evelyne Dubos: Tu es poète et photographe extraordinaire, wow...merci beaucoup Evelyne ;)
