Always a quandary whether to read other comments. I was into the wonderfully egg-like look of a lily until I saw rosebud comments. Hmmm...think I will sup at my own table this time. Just the best of butter and soft boiled eggs in my tastebuds. Might have to go have one today. You are really softening, all right, my friend.

@JOEMULLIGAN: WOW! Just two little words....but they fill my heart as I imagine all the (positive) thoughts and feelings they stand for. A lovely gift... Thanks, Joe.

Nice semi-adstract of this rose. I like the soft feel of the petals.

@Anita: I've been enjoying your comments, and the feedback elsewhere about cloning has set me off...there is so much to learn about post-processing, and with just your few words pointing to something that could be improved you have opened my eyes. I guess that's the purpose of critique, isn't it. :-) Thanks so much for that boost forward, Anita.
