Mitch, your flower pictures are always so elegant...

The water lily is beautiful. The bakground with those leaves so well placed is great. The detail in the stamens in #2 is very nice, and the colors are great. Wonderful macro. in this picture. May I ask what lens did you use in this picture? Your bee picture is great! So sweet.. I can imagine the detail one can appreciate in the original size... The last one is excellent. This color is so difficult for me to capture... It turns always something totally different from the real color. Did you work on your picture with PS? I mean any special treatment. I ask because it looks like a painting.

My favorite are all

Excellent shots, Mitch! All of them. I'd be hard pressed to chose a favorite. Irma said it already, but I'll say it again, these are very elegant flowers.

Trying to figure out which is from the porch. Very nice Mitch.

Very slick. The design of these photos is very impressive. There nothing exaggerated. It's just the real stuff.

Superb pics, Mitch... love the colour, sharpness and definition in the photos...

First and last are my favourites - the flowers look so poignant and the purple one really stands out because of the rich colour.
