The edge of the orchid 2011-03-11 Just trying out my new 50mm/1.4 lens at the Selby Botanical Garden in Sarasota, Florida. [This is NOT SOOC - I lightened and furtherl blurred the part that was out of focus] Many thanks for the comments on my Kestrel shot. - it was one of those shots you take and only identify back home on the computer. Enjoy the day.
American Kestrel 2011-03-10 As seen in Lemon Bay Park in Englewood, Florida And thanks for the comments on my flower. It is useful to have feedback on how other people see the colors. Enjoy the day.
Flowering Season 2011-03-09 A shot from a large bush. Florida has had a very dry winter, so many plants are not yet blossoming (but the trees are putting out record levels of pollen). I'd appreciate any comments on the tone - on my laptop screen this shot looks dark and dull - on the TV screen it glows.
