Great idea, Fred! Whatever made you think of it? I like the repeating pattern that shows up and the colors are gorgeous. Might tidy up a few of the white spots on the plant with some cloning but that's about all I can add to do.

Thanks folks for the kind words. Julie in all honesty it was just a guess. didnt want to use the same ol background and wanted to look as if I was in a patch of them...
Thanks again
Fred

I like the reflection in the background and the varied repeating patterns as well. A great idea.
