Those look pretty nice. The downloads are excellent.
Do you have a macro lens??? I just started playing with one. Opens up a whole new world.

Thank you Larry. I don't have a macro. I just haven't had the interest in it that Susan (Coolcameragirl) has. She's also one of the best I've seen in this field. I'm sure it does indeed open up a whole new world. My birds seem to take a lot of my time. Oh well.

Thank you Susan. Much appreciated. See the response above. I've visited your sight more than once.

When things are slow in the world of feathered fantasies, I occasionally look around to see what is near me. Wild flowers are always present, at this time of year, so why not point a lens in their direction, even though I don't know what I'm doing.
You did very well, Joe.

Joe, as one who likes wildlife and bird photography, I have shot all those same flowers on a slow day. I like number one the best (just like that plant have shot if many times.

Thanks a lot Jan but as my friend Harvey Gold describes me,
"Ah yes, Joe, a master of mediocrity." :-D

Maybe your friend just doesn't recognize genius when he sees it!

Ahoy Joe,
Congratulations and thanks for showing these excellent photos.
BTW I just finished 3 days of 'messin' around with 200 similar shots of flowers. I used a Sony a65 with a Minolta 28-300 lens and no tripod. I took the shots with nothing in mind but to see how the Minolta lens performed.
The results showed me that the Sony/Minolta combination is top notch, but the fun really began with post processing. I'm motivated to post a few now that I have seen your fine work.
Thanks again, and best wishes,
Martin

Good for you Cur. That's another reason it keeps us out there. Thank you.
