Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Ooh, thank you for posting this! As lovely as it was in black and white, it is lovelier in color. A darling little wild orchid.

I love how it seems to be showing off a bit. So bright against the gray.
I understand why you wanted to post this again in colors. I love the color tone of this.
Pretty in itself - but it's the patterns on the wall which catch my eye.

Pretty and graceful!
My entry.
That is so pretty and it has the perfect name. I want to imagine little people and fairies running around underneath. :)
I'm pretty sure I've never seen one of these.
LOVELY!

I love the color, it is a gorgeous flower.
Lovely snap. Love the background, it made the flower more beautiful. :)
Gorgeous bloom!
Please take a peek of the Flowers at my page. Have great week ahead!
Beautiful color here!
The flower is pretty, but I am intrigued by the pattern onthe grey background.
Is that incidental or contrived?
This looks like an orchid. Is this some kind of a wild flower? This is gorgeous!

Bite my tongue and smack my face Dimple, but the color version is way better than the B&W. I like this image. It has a lot going for it without being cluttered.
This is an awesome macro shot of the fairy slipper. You can really see its daintiness and beauty in your capture. Lovely photography. What looks to be stone in the background seems to have pictures drawn on it...very interesting whatever it is. Nicely composed.
Gorgeous macro!
Very beautiful photo, love the grey background against the lovely lila flower.
What a lovely colored blossom. Happy Macro Monday!
Great shot n editing...love it!
