Red, White and Blue Cupcakes

Some July 4th fun for today! I used a Topaz Adjust filter (psychedelic) on this.

Seems the results of yesterday's crop question http://www.kdstewart.net/Whats-New/2011/15273048_JZ5Zm#1365941420_7gp9Phq ) are that the vertical (portrait) crop may be the better one, since the landscape (horizontal) one doesn't follow the rule of thirds. And maybe that is what was bugging me about the horizontal one - that the main flower is smack dab in the middle of the image (bleh).

I really appreciate your thoughtful input, comments and suggestions! That helps me A LOT to grow and think about my images, so *big hugs* to all of you for that!

Hope you are having a great 4th and enjoying the day. I could go for a cupcake myself. :)
