Beautiful Kala. The fence and the petunias are both focal points and seem to provide balance and context to each other.

Hi there – I have just returned from the wild, woolly and less that wonderful world of wireless only internet – so now I’m catching up.

Great colours – I also like the combination of soft and hard in the textures.

A pretty cool fine art, I really love the effect given by the deep of field and the line created by the fence separating the flowers from the background. The warm colors are also having a great impact in the overall composition. It’s an amazing shoot Kala.
