Hi there! I took this photo and I love it. It's very zoomed because the flower was too little. Hope you like it!

P.S. My camera isn't that great (but it is a Canon, 8) )

P.SS. I'm working on a poem inspired by this image, just wait a little bit...

Hi there Shauni! This is cute. The title fits very well on this photo, since it seems like she is alone. Nice work :D

Hi :D

It might be an idea to resize the picture, that way we can see all of it at once rather than having to scross or zoom out XD Image hosting sites such as http://www.photobucket.com let you upload pictures and edit them.

Overall this is a pretty nice photo. You got the flower in focus, and the contrast of the bright pink against the duller greys and greens. I would suggest cropping out a little of the space around it though as most of it doesn't have much happening.

I don't recognise the plant though, do you know what type of flower it is?
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

Thanks a lot for the reviews.

Bellbellbellbeel I really appreciated you review I will try to follow your advices. I don't no what flower is it, because I was in a school trip wend I saw it and the flower was so tinny and was growing in a crack. I had the hardest work to get the picture.

Thanks a lot to both of you!

What a beautiful photograph! & such lovely, soft colors! I agree with the above comment, you definitely have a well suited title. There's a lot of things you can say from this picture, you can have many different poems about this one flower...as they say - a picture is, truly, worth a thousand words ;D

Heeellllo, Shauni!

I'm Sakura and I'll be your reviewer today. ^_^

That flower is absolutely gorgeous! Where did you find it?

The colors in this are lovely. It's great how you got the flower into focus.

The one criticism I have is that you should definitely be resize the photograph. It is much to big to appreciate. You could also try cropping it some as well as going on photobucket.

Lovely photograph,

Oo la la! That's a pretty flower, I'm not a fan of pink but it just looks like a strong flower.
You did a good job capturing the photo.
I'd listen to everybody else's advise, crop and resize it so it can be appreciated.

Cool! I think that you could improve on it, by getting the camera closer to the flower, It's just a little too big to appreciate right now, crop it down, but thats some nice focus you got there.

Hi Shauni! June here!

This is beautiful! The title fits it perfectly, and the colors stand out and contrast perfectly. Your camera hasn't missed a detail!

At first, I didn't recognize the flower type since it looked big, but now I do! I just can't recall the name xD. Good job! You have a cool camera!

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
