Hi Patrick, I saw these on your flickr they are great. I like the perspective of the first one, good dof in the tree with the bridge in sharp focus. I like the sharp focus in the foreground of the second one and the reflection is good. I personally like the bug in the last shot and the colour is great against the dark background.

For those of you looking for a bug on my last shot...I killed it in photoshop and reposted the shot

Very nice shot of the bridge. I like how you've included a little bit of foreground to give it some extra depth and dimension. Your second one is also very creative. I was scrolling down, looking at the foreground focus and then found the reflection. Good eye on those, and of course the flowers are up to your usual standard.

I love how you decided to do your dof in all of them. It works very well. Well done, I enjoyed viewing them!

Hi Patrick, Great Post my Friend, but I really love the last 2. That pink flower is amazing and The Daisy is just beautiful. Great Clarity and composition.
Thanks for sharing these

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Patrick, I'm so accustomed to seeing your beautiful, detailed macro shots--like these lovely flowers--that I'd forgotten about your gift with landscape. This barn, especially, is just lovely.
