Very cool opening shot Randy! A little competition for the same flower in #1 but both subjects look great. Nice hopper comp Calla lilly I may have selected the front tip for the point of focus and let the rest drift back from there. #4 wow, sharp one and that is a wild electric green on him! Last is my fav, I like the persepective

Beautiful pics Randy with such wonderful and clear colors. Top picks are the last two.

Great shots Randy, a very nice series.

No. 1 I really like the effect here.

No. 2 is the pick for me, very sharp, lovely colours, beautiful subject.

No. 5 I also like, that flower has great structure and colour.
