This is just lovely, Maggie. I love jasmine! So divine smelling, you are right. Excellent comp with the fence and greenery included with the delicate flowers. A fav!
Ohhhh Magie. This rocks viewed large. I love the texture and tone of the dark wood contrasted by the delicate white flowers. I am loving this. Can't help but .......FAV! Such perfect exposure. This needs to go on the PP.
@myhrhelper Thank you, Kathy! This is a "domestic" "buy it at your local nursury" kind of jasmine. This is the first year my plant has really bloomed profusely!
Beautiful! I love the rustic look with the delicate flowers! p.s. I'm glad I didn't do that challenge...great works of art!!!! Really hard to pick just one.
@marlboromaam Really!!!! this kind of a shot is my favorite...just simple..not abstract or busy..just clean crisp and include's wood and rusty wire!! i would have this framed in a minute!!! ...Really!!!
@lindag You are too sweet, Linda! Thank you for your comments!
@wannabe Thank you, Catherine! What makes you think you could not have done as well? You need more confidence in your wonderful abilities, gal! You would've done well!
@ellimae Thank you very much, Ellen! That's very high praise for a shot I honestly thought would not get one fav. =)
FAV! This is such a classic shot! you did so well with the composition...the flowers alone are beautiful, but add in the wood and wire and it is prefect for framing! and enlarged really really big!
Love the strong wooden boards and the delicate flowers. I can't handle Jasmine perfume, my neighbour has a bush that is on my property boarder. My eyes water all the time.
I love how you've captured the delicateness of the flowers with the rough textures of the wood. Love the composition and lines. Love the color against the washed out wood tones. A fav for sure.
What a wonderful composition. The contrats are lovely. I wonder why it is confederate? I notice you have a softness in your shots which I love, seems when i try I feel I have lost the detail in the flower. Your balance seems perfect!
@Cherrill Thank you very much, Cherrill! It's the common name for this vine. I have no idea why but you can Google it and find tons of pics of it. It's a pretty hearty vine that grows well in the southern states. When I want to add a soft glow to a pic, I use Perfect Photo Suite 6.1 and its Perfect Effects. It is regularly a $299.99 app with 7 different apps included. You can go to ononesoftware.com and sign up for their special sale emails. I got it for $149.99 - half price by watching the emails. I had a "soft focus" filter (among so many others) for my old film Minolta and this app works about the same. Cheers!
@cocobella They do smell nice but not as nice as the wild yellow jasmine.
@meisen325 Thank you so much, Monica! This is the first time I've had two pics on the PP at the same time, if both are still there. That's NOT likely to happen again! LOL!
@dauber Oh, I could name you at least six other folks with thousands of followers and their comments go on forever. LOL! Thank you, RL! I really appreciate your time to view and leave your lovely comments on my pic. =)
@darsphotos Thank you for your sweet comments, Darlene! I was shocked when this one made the PP. I thought it was kind of dull and lacked a little luster.
@marlboromaam ha ha well jasmine has a sweet perfume maggie , strong stuff indeed , have a great weekend, we are going to have a hot weekend in the UK...well 24C is hot in the UK :) mid 70F's :)
@phil_howcroft That's cool for us! We'll be at 95 degrees far. or 35 degrees cel. for you! Ugh! With probably 85 percent humidity! Miserable! Enjoy your nice weather!
@marlboromaam How cool that it made PP. I will have to check that part of this site once in a while. One day at a time for me and for my husband. A lot on my plate so will be coming and going as much as I can. Hugs.
@darsphotos I wouldn't worry about it. It's not the number one reason for being here. Glad you got back on and found your password. Hope Safari is working out for you! Hugs!
@marlboromaam I am sorry I bugged you but was so flustered. I was so glad to find my password in my pile of papers. Now it is close by if I need it. I have not been using Safari as all my drop downs are in Firefox. I did have to use it that day but did not use it much. I will have to change over soon. Hugs back to you, Maggie.
