Artist's Comments

I went to the most beautiful place yesterday! Longwood Gardens, in PA, US, anyone who lives close enough to visit it sometime definately should!!! Sunmi, you should visit this place if you already haven't. And Marty, have you ever been there? It's got so many gorgeous trees and flowers and colors and butterflies it's just WOW... And you can come there anytime of year too, and it will be beautiful, I've only ever been there in the summer, but I hear the other seasons are just as great.

Anyway so, I need to reply to many comments, but I want to submit this photo before I do that because I'm really excited about it! I really like the reflections in the water... The water looks black because they put black stuff in it so that algae won't grow. I think it looks pretty cool that way. :-)

And several more Longwood Gardens photos to come. :D

interesting pattern on the leaves O.O ... I think it looks fine without borders, there already is a subtle one made by the reflection of the window. I love the colors the most, the green, black and purple scheme works great.

Hmm... alright, maybe I will add borders sometime. What kind are you thinking? I usually like to do the small strip of black or white, small strip of a color that's in the photo, and then a large strip of black or white. Some people don't like borders though, say that they detract from the actual picture. That's why I usually stay away from them.

Thanks! I love lilypads. I've always wanted to sit on one, like frogs do, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hold me up. ^^;

Those are very unique lily pads but the star of the show is that beautiful lily. You did a very nice job on the exposure of it.
