Nice color and light John. Also, nice job on the FG/BG separation. :cool:

John - Nice rendition for the Sage. I like how the DOF covers the main subject top to bottom. Background is not ideal but shooting in the wild comes with a lot of challenges I guess.

John:
You seem to have handled the blue well in this bright light. The bg is a little cluttered. The image could do with a little more sharpening.

John: The strong relatively bright diagonal BG stem does spoil this for me somewhat. In the field I will often make those things go away if there are no real consequences to a little barbering. I do like your capture of the flower. >=))>
