Default My first flowers & a polar bear

Those are some beautiful flowers Mom! I love the perspective and that the first two are from different angles and not the typical looking down view (all though I like those also). The rose is gorgeous. I love the suttle shadows. Polar is so cute, white is a hard color to photograph and he looks spot on perfect. Such gentle friendly eyes. Fantastic focus!
Looks like you had some very nice things to keep you busy with the camera when you were not busy in the ring. Great collection!

Debbie, I like the angle of the first shot. And the rose is very beautiful. The lighting adds so much mood to the picture. And Polar is so cute!!! Good focus!

You did well with the flowers. I shot some Black Eyed Susans like this yesterday, but didn't think of shooting from the underside. Now I'll have to go back. What a cute and soft fluffy polar bear!

I have to admit that your title drew me in. Was thinking flowers and polar bears? How do they go together? lol
Now I know. Great flower shots

Thank you Michelle !! Yes, people kind of wondered what I was doing shooting flowers
instead of dogs, kind of funny. But there are so many wonderful things to shoot at
these venues besides the dogs. Although I did manage to get some great action
shots of the dogs this time around.... thank you, love you , Mom

Thanks Mike. Actually my daughter Michelle has gotten very creative
in her shots with flowers, so she was my inspiration here, I liked the way
they turned out.
Polar, he's just a cutie, had to include one dog picture from the show. lol.
