Description Sycophancy: fawning obsequiousness (-or flattery).
--
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery.
--
There were other games that Anne played with her name. "Flannery will get you nowhere" became a common currency between them: Anne said it to herself in Flannery's presence, when she felt she wasn't getting enough work done (...) On a good day, when Anne was teasable, Flannery would counter with a touch, and a correction. "Oh no. Flannery will get you everywhere." --(Sylvia Brownrigg, "Pages For You", 2001)

--
Little inside joke- you know, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery. For that girl who photographs droplets. Artemis' girl.

Oh, I thought it might because of the dark background. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera/lense do you use?

FadingBlack In reply to CharmedSlayer [2006-06-10 21:58:02 +0000 UTC]

I use an EVF- the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-5. It's a really good camera for its price (about $600 US) and not only because of its 12X zoom.

Gosh, I sound like I'm advertising it.

Referred here by *Photocritique

This photo is well composed and has a nice subtle colouring. The contrasts are good and help catch the eye almost as much as the crystal clear drop of water there. The cropping and background serve the photo well too.

Good job .

Nice pic, the focus is right so is the dof. I little less crowded backgrond would be even better, but it's a nice pic.

Btw cool, you're using the same camera as I

FadingBlack In reply to bbq-kip [2006-06-06 01:33:19 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, yes. Some of the background is distracting. And Panasonic makes pretty neat cameras.

You flatter very well, I like the contrast of the dark background and the dusty rose of the petals as well. Excellent shot.
