I prefer this version;
I like too to play in PP:)

Nos.713, 14, 15 are all excellent. You do a very good job of matching images to the philosophy. Well done.

714 is so perfect! One can almost feel the texture of this rose.

Thank you very much Jean; i think in that image i didn't notice the change occurred to leaves, which turned a bit fluorescent; probably Dan was referring to that , i suppose :)

Dan, thank you very much for your kind words :)

Joe, thank you very much; i too felt the softness of the petals in that image :)

Very nice.
There is like a light in the center of the rose:)

Nandakumar, excellent series of photos since my last visit, and very thoughtful statements, as always, that accompany them. I was wondering where you photograph such beautiful flowers. Are they at a botanical garden, growing wild in your area, or in your own greenhouse or yard, perhaps?

715, nicely captured and appropriate quote. Any ID on the flower?

Scape 716 -- what a beautiful rose! Where there is life, there is glow. From what I can remember from my studies when someone looks dull, spirit isn't there but wandering somewhere, life is somewhere. Anyway, just my thoughts, as usual...

Randy, thank you very much; now a days i have an added interest in gardening and courtyard farming; so i purchase flowering plants and vegetable saplings and cultivate them. Here we have very limited land around houses and so nothing large scale; most of the recent flowers are from my garden and others from exhibitions ......:)

Thank you very much, John; it was shoot of a pineapple from our backyard. A growing pine apple is really interesting subject with its gradually changing colors..... :)

Gardening and cultivating plants and flowers, be it as a source of fresh vegetables and fruits, or for their beauty, is a great hobby, and very nicely compliments your first-rate photography skills. Thanks for sharing your photos and your wisdom.

Randy, thank you very much :)
