Hanging jewels...

Gallery: FloraPosted December 13, 2009113 views9 comments

Wow, what a showcase this forum is these weeks! So many beautiful images together. Very good idea, Bill!
When I looked back at my posts of this year, I noticed that I didn't post much.
It made me look back on this hectic year. We moved houses, work was so chaotic and finally we had the wettest autumn I can remember. I hope and will certainly try to be more active on NPN next year.

I do not have the specs of this image, my external harddisk refuses to start up. Have to do something about that!

Very nice.I like the repetition of the hanging flowers and the BG color compliments them very well.

You lined this one up perfectly. I like the dof and the way all the hanging blossoms are in focus. Great detail

Ellen, Subject well chosen. I like the pairs which show the same height with the longest one in the center. Nice background only puts this over the top
