Oh, and it smells just wonderful. :-) Not bad for a quick shot in the yard Jules... perfect BG.

Julie, Your focus is good and your composition is good-can't wait to see this image in full bloom! The BG is great!!

Hi Julie,
I like the composition, image and capture. It's balanced gracefully in frame...the color rendition is very good, with a complimentary background...good show...:cool:

Oh, oh, oh..... Lilacs about to open............ How exciting!!

I like the simplicity of this image. Lovely composition. Works especially well with the out of focus BG.

I wish the purple buds were a bit lighter. What do you think?
