Description
The rhododendron itself is relatively normal, but the postwork is fancy. Full view shows it off!
Happy Birthday, Andrea!

I love this! The ends of the stamens look like green fiber optic wires. Very cool birthday gift.
Excellent image !!
Stunning photo Great dedication to Andrea
Another fine and organic present for Andrea, ab-fab postwork, this is EYE CANDY and really pops ! I do love Rhododendrons, more than any other flower myself and this colour of RED is just so irresistible ... Simply elegant Tara, BB
I'm delighted by this, Tara, thankyou so much! The postwork is very clever, perfect for this special birthday which brings me to my allotted span, about which, by the way, I am rather ambivalent (!) The flower looks as if it has had jewels added to the centre, Gorgeous!
Very nice and a fine tribute...
beau cadeau
Very cool photo Tara. Great color.
What a wonderfully subtle digifiddle! Kudos! And happy birthday Andrea!
Love the composition, colors & postwork. Without having seen the original shot, I'm guessing it was fairly ordinary & unimpressive & that you transformed it into something special...
A special bloom for a special friend! Mighty well done Hon.
Excellent shot and dedi for our birthday friend Tara.
Beautiful dedication. It reminds me of a floppy Easter hat.
Amazing capture and dedication Tara. God bless.
Beautiful image (I wish we had those here) and a lovely dedication for Andrea. :)
A lovely capture of this rhody, Tara! Love the red, and your postwork really enhances it. Super birthday for Andrea.
Lovely Gift... Aloha
A very red and very undulant shot of this beautiful plant. I can't tell if there's filtering, but whatever you did---in camera and/or out---you brought out the colonies in the leaves, the eddies and flows and veins, and lots of shadow play and saturated light, with beautiful lights around the edges too. That's very Andrea-like, with her signature edge work and the other things she does to flowers and such. This is also like jumping into an ocean and photographing vivid marine life. It has that undulant feeling. A beautiful shot for Andrea, our resident muse of so many things; and thanks for your comment, affirming that she is all those things---it's right she knows how many feel that way about her terrific 'garden of delights'! Happy Birthday Andrea! Hope it's a great week! Terrific dedi, Tara. I grew up around rhody's and I never saw one as vivid as this. (Btw, do rhododendrons like to be called "Rhody's"? How do you know one of them won't jump out at you and scream, "A 'rhody' is someone who follows ROCK bands! I'm a Rho-do-den-dron, dammit!!! SAY it!!! Gahhhhhd...")
Beautiful :)
A Beautiful birthday Dedication! What a deep Red ....outstanding.. Rob
