Hi MMT! She is so pretty. I like the fact that she isn’t perfect, with some petals missing and one bent back. Just like the rest of us! Happy Shadow Shot Sunday, and thanks for your visit this morning.

The missing petals which would seem to make it imperfect–actually give it soooo much character! An Absolutely Beautiful Picture!

I Bow!

I just love the way Ms. Aster has curled that one petal back…it adds a wonderful touch to the overall image. The way the shadows are falling on the other petals is awesome. Such a wonderful shot. genie
