Very nice; I never thought of a begonia as a shell before! "Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced by compositional logic, an eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception." Stan Brakhage

Hi Carl, this is such a special macro image. It could be anything you imagine it to be. Lovely thought. I want to also thank you for your wonderful thoughtful comments on my artwork. You see wonderful insights into the images and express yourself so well. You may want to pursue writing also as you already do it well (many artists are multi-talented). Best regards, Sharon
