Very nice mike

Mike, these are simply awesome. I don't know how else to describe them. You have such a wonderful eye for composition. I can see the shots after you've posted them, but I would never get them on my own.

Great job. You need to think about selling some of these. :wink:

 

[Gale]

Fantastic as usual Mike :>))

I am curious about the last one though. Tell me about that. Haven't got a clue...

hahhahahaha nothin new with that :>)))

Hey Mike -

More great stuff! I know you've got lots more, so keep'em coming.

Two questions -

How do you creat those great frames?

What the heck is that weird round green thing that looks like it belongs in a horrow flick? I never saw it.

Thanks so much for the kind words, if you would ever see this place a blind man could walk away with some killer shots sort of the flower equivalent of the Rookery targets all over the place. I sure wish I could find a market to sell prints like this and pay for this nasty addictive habit I have. :shock:

Fantastic shots, Mike. Your post reminds me that I really need to go there. I don't think I've been there since I was there in elementary school on a school trip, and that was a LONG time ago! Kudos on the beautiful shots!
