[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A whole year has passed. I have new equipment, have learned LOTS from TrekEarth members who have been kind enough to critique my photos and offer suggestions for improvement. I am learning to use my manual settings which seems to make a BIG difference. :)) I found it fitting to offer my favorite shot taken at the same place my first photo here was taken. Thank you ALL who have been kind, nice, helpful, critical and just totally a wonderful community. I am just back from home, so I have a lot of catching up to do and I am glad to be back. My best wishes to each and every one of you!! Thanks a million!!

Congrats, Shelly -- and lovely post! Great colors, sharpness, perspective. Nicely framed and balanced subject.

Very well done for your 100th, but most of all congratulations. I have loved looking at your work in the short time on TE.

Best wishes,

Mel

Oh, Yeah ???
What about those who came to your site to bitch about your pictures, eh ?
What about those who didn't come to your site, even though they were perfectly aware that you are waiting, eh ???
I feel so abandoned and neglected...
No thanks for me …!!!!
---------------------
I can hardly see this beautiful flower of yours thru my tears (or is that a dirt on my monitor ???).

(:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))

All the best, Shelly…
TE would be much less pleasant place without you .

John

shelly,

wow f/36 ... some aperture that Shelly .. produced a great shot though .. here's to the next 12 months

Shelly...I hope not too late to wish you other years rich in beautiful photo on TE.
Ciao da Freddy

Hi Shelly,

I wonder why you and Vedrana celebrate a year on TE with flowers, perhaps it's because women like to receive flowers on special occasions or is that a little too Freudian? What ever the reason this is a lovely yet simple image with good contrasting colours, blue and yellow. A fine capture to celebrate your year on TE, well done and many congratulations Shelley, I'm looking forward to seeing your photographs for many more years.

Kind regards

Stephen

Hi Shelly,
You will never go wrong with yellow against blue they are the most complimentary colors found in nature. Striking detail to the yellow beauties and a fine bit of green to contrast with the blue. Excellent photo and congrats on your first year which I have really enjoyed your comments and of course your excellent photos that seem to get better by the day.
Regards, Tom

Bonjour, mon amie Shelly,
Une année déjà, le temps s'écoule rapidement, je suis très heureux d'avoir fait votre connaissance, chère Shelly. Cette photographie est un joli cadeau par ce qu'elle représente. Votre gentillesse est reconnue dans ce site. Un grand merci et faites-nous profiter, encore, de vos merveilleuses contrées.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Shelley,
It has nearly been one week over, but not too late to congratulate you for your anniversary i guess :)
And how nice flowers for appreciation, how kind of you to celebrate with this beautiful photo...
Excellent shapness of the roses makes them so real, and the blurred BG with that contrasting blue sky makes it timeless. Happy you :)
Cheers,
Deniz

Hello Shelly,

What a superb macro shot of the flowers, arranged to to accentuate the colors of the Swedish flag. Good choice of vantage point, excellent colors and definition.

Congratulations on completing your first year on Trekearth, and may you have many many more. Most importantly, there really is a marked improvement between the earlier photos and the latest; certainly in the presentation your work exhibits great improvement, especially in this understated frame which is extremely effective. Warm regards, my friend,
Bulent

Hi Shelly, A wonderful close up of these stunning yellow flowers, the shallow DOF is perfect & they stand out beautifully against the blue sky, there is a little noise in the sky, however this far from detracts from this gorgeous shot, kind regards Wilson.

congrats on your 1st year, shelly!!
correct me..but is this a henry fonda yellow rose?
so crisp, so sharp...i can (almost) smell the scent!!
benedict

Happy TE birthday...a bit late perhaps, but better late than never. Excellent shot combining these complementary colors. Right degree of saturation! I wish you many more years of fun on this site. John
