Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
The graphic quality is tangible...and I'd have loved them all in black and white! OR....all deep sepia!

@Japanalia: Hey Gabriela, honestly I was tempted to go black and white all the way, but I thought the colour was striking, didn't want to lose it and sepia didn't work well ;)

Love your selective coloring here, Lorraine! What are those cones for anyhow?? I love how your selective coloring is always just a little splash here and a little splash there. :)

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
What a lovely mystery shot this makes . . the meandering thread of Comments caused by the baskets is a further bonus on this one ! Great find.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks for the lovely comment Ronnie ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
I'll have two scoops of chocolate fudge swirl.
But I like the Madonna comment the best.
What you have is raised our curiosity and imagination which is a wonderful thing.
The selective coloring you used really draws attention to these decorative hanging baskets. They are exactly something I'd be attracted to purchase.
