Angella, I really like your first one. The combination of the pink and green and yellow is beautiful, plus the striations on the color of the petal is phenomenal. All of them are very well composed.

Corry,
I got these photos of the flamingos at Sea World San Diego. At first, we thought the white chick was a ducking of some sort.....I thought it was amazing that they go thru such a massive change from birth to adulthood. We were there at the beginning of August, there was babies of all ages there....

Thank you for all your compliments....

i'm with the consensus, angella.....that first image is so well done......your exposure is dead on and the control you have over the color is admirable.....

Thank you so much.....they have the most amazing lily garden at Balboa Park in California....when I was crawling around on my stomach, I did get some strange looks, but kept right on my own business and got my pics....
