This image is textured with Kim Klassen's Waterfront7 and Pumpkingrung textures.




I'm joining Texture Tuesday and BeStill52 photo class today.  The backgrounds are an assortment of woods, fabrics, and paper.

    Hi Sheila! Stopping by from Kim's TT, but I'm also in her Be Still class. Loving the simplicity of this composition. I think I like the last one best...something about the color contrast and the way the wood tone kind of matches the color of some of the stems.

    I continue to find it amazing how much changing the backgrounds can alter feeling and look of a photograph. All of these are beautiful and I really like the perspective....

    Sheila, I adore your closing, Be wonderfully odd! That simple closing speaks volumes about the respect you have for each individual and their unique and sometimes quirky qualities. It makes you approachable - and that is the basis for friendship. Thank you! I've enjoyed viewing your photos with different backgrounds. One of the best aspects of this assignment from Kim, is that it begins to ingrain in us an easy sense of which background will look good or serve our vision for a photograph. Every view has it's positives, but first and last are my very favorites. Love the simple and elegant view!
