Great collection!

I especially like the ones of the fruits and the sunflowers.
Thank you for sharing.

REALLY stunning (and I know how hard it is to succeed at that! ) And, once again from rainy grey PacNW: thanks for the color hit !

My ability to get the composition and to see the rhythm is something I think I was born with. I never have to try! It's just there.

I am glad all these colors gave you a lift! Grey days do that to me too.

You cropped the first with great care. Looks great magnified, too! The second looks like a swimming school of eels. The string beans look 3D. I really enjoyed this set. Thanks!

I actually didn't crop this first one. I put the lens out to 45mm and then carefully took the shot. I MAY have used my 2X extender to bring the image closer, but I don't remember and nothing in the exif data tells me if I did or not.

And the same for the other photos you commented on. I picked the most vivid objects I could find and went with it.

Thank You!

I have to agree!

Of course, the lens does what I tell it to do . . .


On edit: I just love your sigline!

It's a thought and realization I came up with, and have tried to live by, for about 40 years, after seeing a few people pass away with just that regret foremost in their minds.

I'm sure you had fun!
