So glad you like 'em!

Thanks for sharing.

Dear Peggy, I wish I knew more about photography so I could discuss intelligently how you get the effects you do. I really love the mixed focus on the second one. The pink and white flower - is it a ranunculus? - looks so fleecy. The eucalyptus and the crisp yellow of the lily make such a beautiful contrast. Thanks as always for brightening my day.

I try to focus on a group that has caught my eye while I'm shooting in F4, which gives me a very narrow depth of field.

And then in post-production, I just fiddle with the different sorts of effects till I get something that pleases me!

I'm not a technician at all! It's mostly flying by the seat of my pants to get the photo I see in my mind's eye!

You have the entire rainbow workin' for you!

Thanks Peggy, you keep raising the bar for photographic excellence.

There were a great many beautiful objects before me today and I had a ball.

Really, you are too kind!

Ty for sharing!

TY for sharing, Peggy!

I felt that way too! It was like hitting the jackpot!

We all need a bit of beauty now and then, I think.

I love the composition and the color placement of the third photo; it almost seems to be dancing. And the last one is simply a lush depiction of summer.

Your kind words show what I felt when I took those photos.
