gerbera daisy

Although I mostly read the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, I sometimes read The Message. It is a great contemporary paraphrase of the Bible, and nice to read for a different view of scripture. This scripture is from The Message:

Can mighty pine trees grow tall without soil? Can luscious tomatoes flourish without water? Blossoming flowers look great before they're cut or picked, but without soil or water they wither more quickly than grass. That's what happens to all who forget God— all their hopes come to nothing. They hang their life from one thin thread, they hitch their fate to a spider web. One jiggle and the thread breaks, one jab and the web collapses. Job 8:11-15

A good remider for me that I do my best when I am connected to God.
This picture of a Gerbera Daisy was taken in my wife's office with natural light.

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

Please give me your constructive comments - I do appreciate your input!

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

I am on vacation now and do not have access to the internet, so I cannot thank you for your comments or comment on your images - I will try to catch up when I get back. Thanks!
