What? Me? First on Ruby Tuesday?
I love the door behind the flower - it looks like the flower is a twin with the cutouts on the metal of the door. Kind of medieval looking, perhaps.
The old (door, steps) have a well worn quality about them. Worn, but made of the substantial quality of a long gone day, but still working well today. The colorful flower is newer but as complex as the architecture that surrounds it. The mixture of green and ruby seem appropriate, reminding me that Christmas is a mere two months away...
Gorgeous photo! I'm not sure which part was affected by photoshop, but the end result is very dramatic!
Love your pic!!
HI Mary,
That old door is way cool. And the flower is quite artsy.
Happy Ruby Tuesday.
Nice work, Mary. The canna looks great in front of the door!
Love it! Great tones!
I like how the canna mimics the flowers on the iron piece on the door.
Well done Mary!
Here's hoping my number is lucky! :)
I posted on my photoblog this week.
Stunning picture. I love the old door in the background.
Beautiful Mary. :) Good luck to all your participants. :)
Very nice! I love photo work.
I love the look and feel of this image Mary, and what a lovely giveaway too.
Happy Ruby Tuesday to you all.
Love the grainy appearance of the photo! The whole image suggests memories of old worlds, crumbling a little but still romantic and beautiful!

I have played more with the graphics. I like the way the flower looks.
Thanks for this wonderful meme and for the giveaway!
I really love how artistic this one is. And you know me! I'd love a card like with that photo to send to just the right person. Nice work, Mary!
I like your shot of the Canna plant. Great give away, Mary.
I believe I'd title this "I Think I Cana (Canna?)".
Interesting treatment! Loe the textur in the door especially.
Isn't it FUN to experiment! Love your results ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Happy Ruby Tuesday. Mary, that is a very pretty picture with even having the red steps. Did you use a red filter of sorts?
Your prize is nice, they match my saying: LIG L2P (Life Is Good, Learn To Play).

I had the day off from work today - gotta love those bank holidays - so I almost forgot tomorrow was Tuesday. Glad I remembered :)

Love the giveaway. Hope I could win.

What a gorgeous photo!! I love what you did with it! :)
That looks like a very old door. Has lots of character, and the Canna Lily is a perfect accent.

That is a really neat effect, great photo! I love cannas!
That might be my favorite out of all the Ruby Tuesday photos you've posted! Love the fall colors!!
It's been a while since I've posted a RT post. I love the give away idea. My kitchen is done in this theme so I would be excited to win. Fingers are crossed! :)
My post this week is a bit reminiscent of days gone by.
Have a happy Tuesday, RTers!!!

Come on Lucky 52! Love the giveaway, how sweet! Great photo Mary.
I know I have not blogged for quite some time but I do remember to have joined this. Hope I am still accepted here. Anyway, I just have the perfect post for this Ruby.
That is very alluring..the flower is perfect, and the old steps and door..well, what is inside is what I wonder?!
This photo is on fire! Really cool ... actually really hot vision. I bet it was fun to play with the picture!
Looks like I have returned to Ruby Tuesday at the right time. Nice the Giveaway. And I love the results of your photo. Awesome!!!
Happy RT Blessings ;-)
That canna looks very cool...like someone tied a knot in the stem. What I really love is the mysterious door that it seems to be guarding.
The is result looks great !
The canna lily is OK, but the DOOR HINGE is great! And that reminds me, someone one said that Door Hinge is the only thing that rhymes with Orange, but I'm not sure about that. Where did you ever find that scene?

I like the way that came out. I may have to experiment with that.
Magnificent! I would never have thought to do that. Thanks for sharing.
