Mr. Harold....You impress me buddy. I really like it.. nice composition, exposure and image. I like the nice soft earth tone background...:) Hey buddy one nit from me; and thats a matter of taste. The diagonal leaf on the top right side of the frame bothers me...perhaps if you blend it in more...Congrats...:D

I like the blurring Harold !!! Very natural !!!

I like the bg a lot Very complementing !! Sort of wish the other plant was not on the right below. Very appealing !!!

[Gus Cobos]

That works for me Harold...good show...:cool:
