You darn right its been a while and what's that spot just down from center and to the right.

Everyone's a critic now a' days (running around the room wildly waving my arms in the air)

Really a nice shot here Sue, really contrasty (is that a word?) very sharp and good composition. Great to see you posting again Sue

Very beautiful Sue. The lavender color and the focus are awesome.

Thanks everyone for your replies. This is one of the images going in my final project for one of my classes.

What was your lighting Sue? I got criticised because my window lighting was too flat on my dandelions with not enough shadows to provide better modeling, although it was a dull day when I took them.

This is studio lighting. 800w strob with umberlla and another with a medium softbox.

Hey, when your old and live alone...you tend to become a bit eccentric. That's an unconventional person with unusual habits

. Of course that could describe a lot of us now, "home alone" or otherwise...couldn't it

I deserve to be eccentric. I earned it, and no one will take it away from me.
