And my favorite is the second one!
But they are both lovely...
I love the symmetry and texture in the second one...

Wonderful work!

(60,071 posts)8. Thanks. The provia filter makes the viewer jump back in time.
The hanging flower could be what brought up that feeling. I like the arch of the flower stem.
I'm going to have to start packing a tripod.
