...Pascale ----- it's very nice to hear that you are a vegetarian -- I admire that -- perhaps if I became one - it might take the edge off the testosterone and make me more predisposed to like flowers --- however - I have already eaten enough cheeseburgers in my lifetime to equal an entire herd of cattle ......is it too late to change? respectfully, Douglas

I can certainly understand why some people may get a little tired of seeing flowers on every page of the RO gallery, but hey, I think if you can show a flower in a new and unusual way, or just capture the perfection of nature in your own style, then it is worth looking at no matter the subject matter.

@ TwoPynts.......now THAT'S a damn interesting flower! ------if most of them were so exotic - I'd have no problems -- alas - it's usually one million variations on a rose - to add waterdrops or not ? -- a little to the left - a little to the right -- out of focus background ...or no ? ----- a rose -is a rose - is a rose ---( except when it's not )--- do the words "overkill" ever impact ? ......the only thing I can do is lay off the red meat and study Alan Alda's persona ( sensitive male ) ------- oh shit! -- ya'll got me started again - have I not learned anything in 59 posts!!!! --lol!
