Many thanks Thad. I must be getting old, but you have no idea how much joy I get from seeing a simple flower looking so beautiful.

@Alan Clark nice sunflowers. Can I ask a favor? do my recently uploaded pics look underexposed? they look fine on the tablet I edited them on, but dark/dull on my laptop, I'd like another pair of eyes for a tie-breaker.

Thank you! I especially enjoy shooting closeups and macros of flowers and other subjects and I tend to strive for doing something a little different..... Glad you appreciate this image!
