FLOWERS! (even if you don't like flowers you might like these)

So here are a bunch of shots from Memorial Day weekend. Sorry there are so many but I couldn't narrow them down. These were taken from a local botanical garden. Lighting was from an overcast day, hand held, and all shot in RAW and converted in CS4 to JPEG.

My favorite is the third one down. All of them are flat out amazing, but I like the simplicity and the colors and the depth of field in the third one.

Well done, Fred!


Number 4 is my favorite - The focal point is well chosen, the colours are lovely, and the amount of detail is simply stunning.


Thumbs up!

They're wonderful! Love the colors! Overcast -- nice day to take flower photos! Well done. []

Once more, I think to myself, "Man, I'd like to be able to do THAT!"
