She seems to pay a lot of attention to composition, and to good effect. Some neat ideas there, e.g. use of depth of field.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-4443512417395124702015-03-28T09:10:42.145-06:002015-03-28T09:10:42.145-06:00Thanks, Nina!

Kathleen at <a href="http://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">Kasey's Korner</a> is a pro with indoor (and outdoor) photography, and she uses natural light, as well. I enjoy simple photos of simple (yet profound!) subjects.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-35613837856042117962015-03-27T08:08:59.516-06:002015-03-27T08:08:59.516-06:00Very cool!
