Hi all !!
We continue the Comment Challenge ahah!!
Sometimes comments inspire me. This was the case under a work of The G.O.A.T Pan Iconic.
The goal is therefore to create a photo from comments on flickr!
The picture of The G.O.A.T Pan Iconic (read the comments) is here.
Story : "Often we see harley directly as a badass girl, in love with the joker or poison ivy who tricks and lives her life as best she can. This time, I just wanted to represent her as she was before and what she will become after meeting her J."
I hope you'll like it !!
Thanks for watching and your support!! ♡

…and here are another 2 images taken during Inspire’s maiden flight over Lake Hume this past weekend.
As with the previous image my focus was on flying so I had dialed in my exposure settings before take off and then simply controlled the camera for the compositions.
I was at odds with an image that clearly shows my 4WD parked in the scene but as these are my first set of images I’m ok with having a little fun.
Shot with the Inspire 1 Pro and X5 Camera. 1/200th Second, F5, ISO 100

Mute swan from behind while it's sailing with the wind. (I like the feather detail in this shot) - How do they keep their feathers THAT white? That thought occurred to me more than once!

This high key photo of a mostly white subject made this a tough exposure to get correct. I liked the glowing beak.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Inspire has her maiden flight yesterday and I couldn't be happier with how she flew for me.
I can't wait to continue learning how to master this new photographic skill.
