Good morning Peeps

Firstly I want to make it clear that I don't think TL is all about points making prizes. However as my points total is about to tip the 20,000 mark I wanted to use the opportunity to say a HUGE thank you. I have made some wonderful friends on here but I wont name any individuals here as I dont think its fair.

Thank you for all the advice and workshops, all the help thats been given so freely that has taught me so much in such a short time.. I know I have still more to learn than I have learned so far but you know what? TL makes the whole learning experience such fun.

Your a great crowd of very talented people and so I am sending you all this rose today to say thank you and long may the learning curve continue.. oh and sorry guys if flowers are not your thing.. just for today get in touch with your feminine side lol.

This image was shot in the rose garden at Blenheim Palace and framed with love to you all in Photofiltre

TTFN and have a great weekend peeps

luv Smurfie

The capture per se is excellent - nice clear details and fine colours; the framing and composition really add to the whole and allow the rose to really pop
Superb posting and congratulations on your success

Hi Helen,my wife could not for the life of her understand what I was doing,when I told her I was trying to get in touch with my feminine side she said "This will be good ,hold on 'til I get the movie camera"
Congrats on your achievement,& thank you for all the Friday theme's they get me thinking & sometimes trying out something new,so thanks for that learning curve,its what helps us all improve I hope:)

Wow! 20,000 points. Even as many of us think TL is not about making points, I have reached 2,000 and I already feel proud; I remember having 60. Excellent presentation of this beautiful yellow rose.

Thank you, Helen, for this present and for all you have gave us. My best regards to you.
