Me and Monet

My work is not as good as his but I like the subjects he chooses!

[Peter de Graaff]

Fav for me. His garden was beautiful

[karenann]

Love his work and love this photo. Are you two buddies then?!! I'm jealous. :)

[Debbi M]

I agree I like his style, and of course yours. This lighting is stunning. Did you put the light there? Just curious as I have never tried that and know often people do. This shot would look so pretty in a frame on the wall.

@peterdegraaff Thanks for the FAV peter! You are up late/early Which is it?

[katy]

@karenann Thanks so much KarenAnn. I would be proud to be his buddy but I am sure he could do a lot better than me for a friend! ;~}

[katy]

@debbim That is so nice of you Debbi! I took it by a pond and the flower was actually too bright so I darkened all the mid-tones which gave everything else a darker tone and let the lily look as if it were highlighted. Since you suggested it I may put it on the wall!

[Debbi M]

@grammyn I would definitely put it of the wall! I think you should.

[Steve Hankins]

Love the shot and the flower - it looks so vibrant!

Wow, I think you knocked this one out of the park. Gorgeous light, colour, contrast. Love! I think you're giving ol' Claude a run for his money ;)
