Beautiful colors, John... I think it would be even nicer if the closest part of the flower was more in focus.

Thanks Karen.

Yes, unfortunately I was a little off focus on the front of the flower. It was kind of a quick shot, and I think I could have done much better if I had taken more time. I just liked the colors, and thought maybe no one would notice.

But then you came along. . . . . . . . Just kidding!

I appreciate your comments.

Kind of like a bad penny, right? Can you try the shot again? The colors are beautiful!

I sure do wish I could try the shot again, but that's rather difficult. I took that on a trip to San Francisco, and though I'll love to, I don't plan on going back anytime real soon. . . . .

Don't expect any sympathy from me, John... after all, you live in Florida and have lots of exotic flowers to pick from. In CT, we're still waiting for leaves on trees!

Yes, but in the fall you have colors. We hardly have a fall. We have spring for 2 weeks, summer for about 6 months, and during that time, heat, humidity, mosquitos, summer storms, and . . . . . hurricanes. So, no sympathy?. . . .

Karen got that one right John, beautiful colors ... and ruined by being out of focus Set up your tripod and shoot a Florida flower that has a nice DOF so we can give you some praise

We don't want you feeling bad all weekend!

Well, I must also agree, great colours, but out of focus.

I know Ken. I'll just have to do that. Actually, I'm doing a car show this weekend. I hope to get some shots from that. There probably won't be any of our Florida flowers there, but I'll see what I can do. Hopefully, I can get the cars in focus. . . especially mine. . . . .
