Excellent, Sissy! I've never seen this inside a petunia either...it is very cool! I love the way you've framed this. Did you try a tiny, tiny black line around the outside? It's hard to see the texture because it blends into "Usefilm white." This could be front page material!
Kath
If that's a cheerleader she's wearing a very ugly green hat

I believe I'm a little late but happy birthdat and have an enjoyable day on the 4th.
Yes I can see all things inside the petunia but most of all I see the skill of a talented Photographer.

Happy burp-day to you again,Susie! Hope you are out enjoying the sunshine and some melon,too!
The smoothness of her skin is what i find appealing...almost a rubber doll texture...like that you captured her lost in thought enjoying some watermelon....i crave it at this time of year and about to go find some!
Beautiful tone and focus...good work!

Hiya Susie.........first things first.......
...............HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....................
I saw Kathy's greeting to you. Now before I do any more commenting I traveled back in time to a point before I joined UF to tell you what I do at work.....but I didn't want to share the info with every Tom, Dick and Harriet......here goes..
I am the quality controller on two regional and two national magazines....I am also past the normal age of retirement!! I can't imagine not going to work any more and the management of the company are kind enough to say that I am more than good enough to be retained.....well, we'll see if they continue to say that if I turn up in a wheelchair with a guide dog
I start work on Monday night at 10pm and work through until 2,3 or 4pm on Tuesday afternoon so a total there of 16/18hrs work on the main magazine. I get home and perhaps do a little commenting in UF, if I can focus on the screen. An early evening meal and bed by 10pm or 11pm latest then it's up again at 5am on a Wednesday morning and off to work for 6am on the free distribution magazine. Finish at about 5pm or so. I also work 1 or 2 Thursdays a month for the other 2 mags. One other occasional element of my work is to go and instruct the sales team on how to prepare their copy for the setters.
I oversee the proofing department and chase the tails of the setting department, additionally I liase with the art studio when I want their artworks changed or adjusted. My most important job is to scan all the pages prior to sending on an ISDN line to the printers to eliminate any imperfections or errors involving artwork or photographs.
The magazines are full of dealers and private customers selling cars,trucks,m/bikes,caravans etc and seperately, boats and yachts, some at the most unbelievable of prices; millions of dollars, euros or pounds.
Hope I haven't caused you to fall asleep sweetie and hopefully you have an idea why I fall behind every week My lovely wife Heather does continually hound me to retire and I keep stalling about when I might consider it. She is some years younger than me and still goes to work so I will carry on until she joins me full time in our love nest
Once again.....a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Susie and BTW this is a very beautiful floral composition. A big hug and all my very best wishes to you as always.....Ray
