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.

What an eye you have! Who'da thought to look at a vase for an abstract design...interesting room reflected!!
Fabulous reflection, Louise, and the color of the forsythia is just as I imagined it, a faded version of its fresh self. Love it!

Greetings from Barcelona
We call those flowers forsythia, in France ; we see them bloom earlier in the year... You made quite a composition with those one, though : such a lovely reflection on the vase...
La réalité recomposée : abstrait parfait !

A wonderful capture, Dimple, with all those window reflections! And I like that you've kept your forsythia, even though it's past its prime...I feel much like that myself these days...LOL.
Ah, such a difference (from the B&W shot). Neat reflections and colors Dimple. Thanks for dropping by and commenting on Ann's graduation photos.
really beautiful reflections!!!
Oh...very creative!
Water must be still, but reflected things look go whirling.
Beautiful--such springy colours. makes me want to get outside and cut some of our flowers to bring inside!
flawless composition!
How clever to find reflections in a vase. And I do believe I can say hello to the woman behind the camera I see... :-)
Really great creativity and you captured it1
Beautiful reflections. I love the way the curves of the vase effect the reflections.
What a great eye you have. Love the way the curve of the vase effects the reflection.
Love the perspective! Great shot.
I love it: the delicate colours of the flowers, the magic reflections, the transparent glass of the vase.
Great photographic composition!
Not at all invasive. Very creative!
Have a nice day, Boonie
Dimple, what lovely pictures you have posted the past weeks. I particularly love the spring photo of the trees and the lake!
Do you have your photos available as gift cards?
Love

You had some very fine matching colours in your vase - very nice :-)
PS Thank you for the comment - the title was very much intended ... ;-)
I was on the road when you posted this. One of the great things about blogs is that they make it easy to catch up on what we miss. Excellent reflection!
