Well, here are three more shots from Whispering Pines Park. I am just about finished going through them all. Thanks again to all who commented on the other posts. Your time is very much appreciated.
The first one is a Prickly Poppy.

Three more winners! Top notch captures and 'development'.
I really like how you take the time to get the right light and especially how careful you are with the backgrounds.
Those two qualities (and the flowers, of course) are what make your flower closeups so appealing to the eye.

I dare you to pick up Mr. Cactus! These are really nice, MM.

These are great Morris! Are you using multiple exposures or are these a single shot? I love the details in the flowers while keeping the backgrounds OOF. Nice work!

Excellent series of flowers. I really like the second shot. Its a beauty.

Morris, I love all of them but I think the fireweed is the real winner. I don't have any images of that particular flower this year. I better get to our park and shoot a couple of them.

I really like the last one...I love the perspective and the beauty of the yellow contrasted against the pale thorns. Nice job!
