When I moved back to the UK, I found it difficult to find some photography buddies, until i joined the U3A (everyone my age is working, unlike Malaysia where 'trailing spouses' were not allowed to work).  I met Julie at my second meeting where I mentioned 52 Frames when discussing the photos I'd submitted.

I was delighted when she asked me to tell her more, signed up that same day, then arranged to meet me to complete that week's challenge!  This was our second get-together where we were looking for triangles.  I considered submitting this one but, ultimately decided it was a bit too busy in the background compared with my final choice.

Welcome to 52 Frames, Julie :-)

Very lovely!

I think you made the right choice.  As much as I like the subject and color in the, the sky in the alternate is really blown out.  

This image has some nice texture in the flower and the mottled background.  Nice use of depth of field and a couple of nice leading lines.  It is well lit.  I think I'd try a touch more contrast and I might crop it a little bit higher (the white of the flower stem leads off the frame and I think it might be nice to see that entire intersection).  Overall, however, I quite like this.

Perfect for the challenge. It really has the feeling of spring.
