[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First I have to tell you I was not planning on uploading, but I got some e-mails and some of that I wanted to share with you.

.
The first one is that Monika Karwowska, who always seemed able to present nature's beauty in a most elegant way, is now the proud mum of a daughter Matylda. So now she just is way too busy to share on TL, but of course I hope she will be back one day.
CONGRATULATIONS MONIKA!!

.
Then Chocolate29 has been absent - and the reason for that is that she suffered a back injurie that slowly is getting better. She hopes to regain some needed energie on an upcoming holiday to Thailand.
TAKE CARE CORDELIA!!
.
It will be a busy week for me, but over the week I will try to catch up with all your comments, so I hope you have a bit of patience...
.
In the WS I will a picture of Matylda.
.
Have a happy and healthy week.

Els

PS As Vandana already stated the buttercups are OE, but this picture was the only one that came close to Monika's style, otherwise I would have never uploaded it. No worries - I will pratise until I get it right.

Hello Els,
Elegant shot.
I like few flowers on the almost sepia like BG.
My only pick is the OE on flowers. May be next time when you try, lower the exposure. TFS

Congratulations to Monika and her husband, I did receive an email from Cordelia so I did know what was happening there. I don't find the OE all that overpowering Els, lovely detail along the stems and nice background tones. TFS,

hello Els
thanks for didicating such a beauty to Monika.
I was about to upload one for her. She is such a nice friend,
many congrats to her, i too got the news few days back.
Actualy i was a little surprised that why she just stopped posting photograph then she mailed me back that she was blessed with a wonderful daughter and having a busy schedule with her.

you have dedicated a wonderful shot to her
May God bless her and her angel.
regards

Yes, there are some problems with this shot, not sharp at the top, and OE on part of the flowers, but the COLOR really grabs me! I LOVE simplicity here, really LOVE this khaki green (my bathroom walls!) and the eggshell white of the flowers! The thumbnail really grabbed me!

Hallo Els
Lekker subtiel in een mooie softe speciale kleur.

Hmmm...I actually thought the OE was done on purpose as a style thing:) I LIKE how the OE makes the flowers stand out with a bit of extra punch! Nice composition and subject for an appealing shot.

Hola Els.
Estupenda macro y original tratamiento del color.

Beautiful capture in out door of white flowers.

Hello Els,

The small delicate flowers are so well depicted..!
DoF works well in isolating the subject, nice sharp details within the focal range...
A pleasant composition, simple and nice!
