Angela .. you continue to share outstanding quality images no matter what the subject .. Focus, exposure and color tones are always excellent ... these four in this set are moving targets and not easy to catch in a good pose ..I like them all .. I think the kissing Doves is quite special .. what a great captured moment !

thanks for sharing another great set !

Vin

Thanks guys for your kind comments. I enjoy taking photos of a variety of things and capturing them at different angles than I would normally take them. Photography is soooo much fun and sharing my photos with great friends here at DPS has made it more special. Thanks everyone.

Angela, I like the butterfly a whole lot....well, I like them all a whole lot, but #1 & #4 are my favorites. The butterfly is so crystal clear, but I'm intrigued by your last shot with the soft blue water in the foreground and the red tones and sunlight on the waves at the top.

Thanks Mike, the ducks are sitting in a shallow pool of water that is part of a water feature. The different colours came from the reflection of the water feature.
