Rebecca Collins, wrote in the blog, "This is very fun Sheila and very well done. I would love to see you try it with more of an asymmetrical crop though." See Blog - Hibiscus Comments for the rest of what she wrote. My response was that I had tried different positions and, in this case, preferred the feeling of the centered hibiscus.

What is your response to the different placements? Scroll down the post at sheilafinkelstein.typepad/picture_to_ponder blog and feel free to add your comments.

Final landing - Stained leaf? No, it's portions of the leaf in the background, shining through.

"Looking good as background," thought I, as I searched through photographs for use in an issue of my Picture to Ponder ezine.
