Drax, thanks for posting. These are crystal clear and I especially like the composition of the last one. The cactus look like balls being poured out of a basket onto the floor.

Thanks, fstopMike!

I am trying my best now to have brilliant and sharp pictures. Since i bought my Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod, i only saw the advantages to always have a nice a sturdy IS (Image Stabilizer) at hand. He he he!

Great Shots Drax, Keep it up! I carry my Tripod with me most of the time; It really does make the difference between a good shot and a Great shot sometimes.
I love the composition on the last shot!
Thanks for sharing these
Chewys Dad.
