Thanks Bev and Dennis- I read awhile back about using a black bucket to stabilize flowers and provide a simple dark background. So went and bought some vitamins for the horses that came in a black bucket- finally used them up and today made the minor adjustments to the bucket. This was my test run. Wworks pretty well in some situations. Bucket alteration is about the extent of my construction skills. Mary

Fantastic colour Mary ... it's almost surreal. I really like the elongated portrait format as it suits the shape of the flower perfectly.

Thanks guys

Nik- don't forget Toto- I think he went to see the Wizard too.

Dave- I did look at cropping this but felt it just didn't work as well so left it alone.
