Hi Rich, and thanks.

I have been similarly fooled a number of times. But the advantage of shooting digital is that one can take 100s of photos, maybe get  just one keeper, and you haven't spent a penny on film and developing.

Hey there, Lorell. Good to "see" you again.

Thanks for your comment on my yellow rose. The background you noted is actual the walk leading to their front door, which is made of bricks that are mostly reddish, but for some reason the ambient light made them more blue and violet - not a bad look with the complementary yellow.

I don't remember seeing that statue before, but I like your HDR version: composition, values, a variety of textures, and colors are all good.

Safe travels, and enjoy the flea market and auction.

Thanks, MFI. The background wasn't planned; in the words of Bob Ross, it was a happy accident.
