After all the BBQ, hamburgers, hot dogs, watermelon and 12 hours on the smoker it was time just to have some fun for a change.

Johnny, you have used DOF to turn your subjects into creative, artistic works! These are very well done - some sharp throughout where it works best and others with shallow DOF to feature a beautiful subject. I really enjoyed each of these!

I surely hope you are having more activity in your butterfly garden than I am! Excellent group!

Thank you Greg, there easy to do, but the wind is not you friend when doing soft focus, I had a lot of trouble with #1 but refused to let it beat me.
