Love the Bird of Paradise! Great that you got the bee, but in doing so limited the overall beauty of the total flower. Would love to see more pics of different angles of that great plant!!! And let me just say that I am sitting here in Coastal NC freezing (12 degrees with windchill) so your pic of your backyard...makes me very jealous!!! Hurry up SPRING!!! LOL

Periwinkles! Great color on them. Be sure to hit up the periwinkles in the morning when they have some dew or right after it rains... they hold water droplets wonderfully! (just a hint)

My backyard looks NOTHING like that right now. Covered in snow.

Nice pics, btw.

The first shot is well executed looks sharp enough to have someone's eye out. Good work.

Good work! On #1, it's a bit distracting to have the diagonal line of the flower end at almost the exact corner of the frame.

im new to all this so please dont be to hard on me. When taking this picture did you use a single AF point or left all of them active? I have a 40d and cant get sharp images like that from my camera.

Single, I use the middle one most of the time, and then I recompose after locking the focus.

On # 2 I would have tried not to cut the upper background flower; and maybe try to put the main subject exactly at the intersection of the rule-of-thirds lines?
Nice colors and blur though...

No. 1 is lovely, but I would've liked seeing all of the leaves and flower. Now every single thing is cut off, which is a pity and makes it difficult for the eye to find direction in the image.
