Forget Me Not...

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ruth, Cathy, John and Nancy!
Nancy, I thought about cropping more of the background out, but wasn't sure about it, so I left the image as is. Thanks for the verification that it would have been alright to do. :-)

It's a wonderful photo! I love it as it is. But for the sake of this challenge, I'm inclined to agree with Rob's suggestion. Perhaps you could put a cropped version in this group and use the full version for other groups. I'd hate you to lose it.

Thanks so much for your very helpful suggestions, Crow, Rob and Eunice; I think I will take your advice and crop this further to get out the excess green. Thanks especially to Rob for the note; it never would have occurred to me to crop the image in this way. I'm away from my computer at the moment, but will make the change as soon as I'm able. :-)

...so fragil and lovely *...

Truly lovely!

Charming!!
