This is a lovely image and the framing shows it off well. I would like to have seen a description of how you accomplished it and the "writing on a sphere.

Your simple sentence of description does not do justice to the work in
this image. The flowers in the sphere would stand up on there own, the
addition of the framing finishes off the job very effectively. Fes Parker Dick Shirley Fun image, nice colors and composition.
I have been a mid-westerner most of my early life, starting with West Virginia, and finally Indiana. I'm a proud veteran of WWII and the Korean War, but prefer to consider that as past history. After graduating in engineering from Purdue University in 1946, I moved with my wife to North Springfield in Northern Virginia, which has been my home ever since. My photo history began when my father gave me two Leica cameras. Although most of my amateur photography, including teaching, has been in slides. Quite a bit of it was in dark room work that included solarizations, stereo, and infrared. Back, engraved in the dark annals of PSA, there is a record of my having developed and managed several instructional courses in photography. Quite a few students continued to write to me long after. I had dropped my membership in PSA. I spent a lot of time in Mexico visiting my sister-in-law (who retired there), taking a lot of slides of Taxco. My current incarnation as a photographer, after a long lapse of inactivity, began eight months ago when out of curiosity, I bought a cheap digital camera from Gateway (DC-M50). Besides being cheap , it had 5 MP. It didn't sell well because of a battery problem, but it is one of the best cameras that I ever owned. It has currently been replaced by the T50, which hasn't sold well either in a very competitive market.. It doesn't have motion compensation, but gives good quality images. My image manipulation software consists of Adobe Photoshop 3.0 and several other non-industrial strength image correction programs. I also use Ifran for Gamma> correction and to make stereo image pairs (in threes) so you can cross your eyes or or not as you like--stereo depth please note). By the way, I had my eyes brought up to date with cataract operations. I now have the eyes of a 20 year old in an older body; I would prefer it the other way around, however. I retired from the Government in 1963--remember Carter; and again in 1987 from private industry after a serious renal carcinoma. Since then, my consuming passion has been Ballroom dancing. After 58 years of tolerating my photography, my wife passed away in 2001. My interest in this group is to learn digital imaging from the vast experience that exists. My pace is just a little slowed; I may not go so far so fast, but I hope to learn a little more along the road.
