    All of them are excellent Leigh, but I especially like the last one.

    Leigh,

    I really like them all. That CP8800 really is magic in your hands. I especially like the third one, but I love the detail in the hibiscus. I find them very difficult to shoot because of the long stamen. You were able to keep it in focus and capture the color! Terrific posts Leigh! :wink:

    Leigh -

    Why did I waste so much money on expensive equipment? I'm not showing these to my wife cuz she'll kill me.....

    Great shots. The lizard is my favorite.

    Hi Leigh,

    I got a kick out of your lizard - frog picture. The lizard couldn't be in a better position to observe life around him. The tail on that puppy is really long. Like your other images too.

    Thanks, Gilles.

    Cindy, if nothing else, I was blessed w/a steady hand.

    Gordon, you've got me laughing. I just do the best I can w/what I have. I'm grateful for my little camera and I enjoy using it. Sometimes I think about going to a DSLR, but I love the simplicity of the CP8800. It is limiting, especially in how long it takes to store a RAW image. But for now, it's what I have and since I'm still honing my artistic nature, I'll stick with it.

    Cheers to you all!
