These are nice.

I am not offended by the bible, but if anyone is, they should just ignore this story instead of starting a kerfluffle.

Very nice word to use -  kerfuffle - Early 19th cent.: probably from Scots curfuffle < fuffle or related to Irish cior thual (confusion , disorder ).

Thank you!!!

Not a very religious person myself but your images and the words from the bible work well together. well done. ;)

Your first image with the running stream of water and the flowers is my fave.;)

Thank you dub.. as for 3 in it's natural color ir was very nice as well I just have this thing for making them mine. And you are left on 4 but is you look at th eright side it looks like a

silhouette of a person bowing in prayer.. 2 was light hdr and thanks for the name of the flowers in 1

Happy Shooting

PS.. as far as the knowing the definition well I had to look it up..:)

On whether the words work or not, depends on the purpose of the photos. If you are making a card or cards to give hope and joy to love ones or friends, than the combinations of photo content and words are great. I make my own cards to send to my Mother who is in a nursing home.

But if the content in the photo is the main purpose, than the words interfere with the eyes movement through the photo. When I look at a nature shot I like my eye just to travel through the colors and shapes, just to get lost in the shot. Words stop that travel.

Nice shot on the columbine in shot 3.

In shot 4, I like the shapes of the dark against the light clouds on the left. But maybe there should be less dark area, to give a better composition (?).

Nice work!

Well I like the photo's and your choice of verse.  I do have a problem with your placement and font though.  They take away from the photo not add to it.  I am aware it can be a challenge to pick what will work and how to place it.  But you could change it up a bit.  One example would be the single flower, with the blur in the background you need a flat sharp font for it to be clear text.  Also, when using font and color, less is more.

As for the flowers, they are not California poppies, although I dont remember the exact name.  It is something with paper....... in it and they are derived from a chinese poppy.
