    Wow Mike! Thoise close-ups are stupendous! Doncha just wish these digital cameras had 'stop down' metering?

    You did great working around it though.

    Palm Beach..at the Breakers...they always have lots of flowers sitting around inside.....in the morning, about 10 o'clock, walk in the front entrance and sit down on a couch by the windows....on the coffee table by the couch will be some gorgeous orchids (no wind) and plenty of available sunlight... :wink:

    Beautiful photos Mike! What kind of Orchid are they?

    So Chris, I meant to ask before, what's the story behind this avatar?

    You are certainly getting your money's worth out of your Wal Mart lens. Nicely photographed images.
