Gray, I was stopped dead in my tracks by the thumbnail. Love it large! Love the story as well. I've had a similar experience with my daughter and my best film, and much of my DSLR gear. Sigh. :cry:

Really love how you handle depth.

Nicely conceived. Sharp as a tack, well lit and great colour. I like how the shading and shadow is working on the wall.

Clever perspective!

[quote:3496ace15f="Teaka53"]Those thorns look well sharp David, You're supposed to say that you were shooting some buds when a noisy little bird photo bombed your shot. :D Hi David and Malc I was focusing on a midge on the tip of a thorn that's why they look so sharp!! Flipping bird scared it off. How does that sound for an excuse? [/quote] You're good at this! :D:D

Wow, what action!

Please view large. Love it.

You have one of the best 50mm lenses Pentax ever made there. Your picture speaks for itself. Good choice of background and bokeh.

All the right stuff going on here.
