Wonderful series Garen,

The DOF on #1 was executed perfectly for a nice effect. #5 looks like a postcard to me. Very nice. How come all the hot spots on some? With Mk3?

Garen -
It's a good thing that you remembered to post these before they reached their expiration dates.

Garen you seem to be holding out on us!! This is a wonderful series, from the small to the large all so well done. It really makes me wonder what the rest of your holdouts look like

Thanks Mark, it was middle of day in the summer with harsh lighting not to mention my own mistake in metering.

Nice shots Garen, especially like the towhee and butterflies. Hummers look great but they're a bit bright on my monitor.

Very nice series, Garen. Getting a Towhee in the open is ridiculously challenging, and your butterflies are truly beautiful.
