Flo - Pigs in a Petal - Lovely Gail and a great title to boot! I really like the DOF and composition of this photo. F/0 and 0mm :-) Reversed lens?? PS I liked your first post too.

A.Christopher - Reaching for the Light - another beautiful shot. Nice detail and DOF - exposure is spot on IMHO.

Jason - On the Loose - Nice job Jason and great capture. I love the DOF and composition. Only nit I have is the purple flower.. not to distracting but I would like this better if it wasn't there.

John_B - Lawn Flowers - Very nice John and great find - I'm sure I would not even notice such tiny flowers.

Warl0rd - Pollen - Great job on the stack! Beautiful colors and detail.

flakspammer - Flower - Nice looking flower. Love the colors and sharpness here but really find the backgroud hurts this otherwise excellent shot.


Winner is Warl0rd -- Awesome photo and congrats!


Thanks again everybody and again excellent entries by all!
