Sweet. I like the shallow DOF. This works quite well, Craig. Nicely done. :toast:

I like the repeating shapes formed by the 3 flowers and the colors look great.

Craig,

Gotta love these guys, though the are always moving and not east to shoot.. This is a good shot... I might darken it just a bit to make it a little more dramatic.

Craig, this is a great shot, I really like the mirror image of the flowers. I do agree with jack , I think if this photo was darkened slightly it would be more dramatic.

I can't add; I too think this would be perfection with a bit of darkening.
