Default Gone crazy or boredom has set in, I'm not sure which one.

I played with the exposure and contrast in these. Hope they aren't too loud for you to view.

Just playing.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for posting these Angela. I agree with Dave, the last shot of the rose is a beauty.

Hello Angela, very nicely done. I hope this means you're feeling better. I like the second shot best, but your rose is beautiful too. TFS

Hi Angela. Never was the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" more true than in photography. Unlike Michael, no 2 is the only one that to me looks a little overdone. I can see artistic merit in it, and can understand others liking it, but for me the other 3 fall into the spectacular category, esp no 4. Hope you get bored and/or go crazy a little more often if this is the result. Thanks. PAUL

These are beautiful Angela. I especially love the green one. Boredom can be good, it leads to creativity (or trouble, LOL)
