    Nice job! Where were these taken? They're so unique.

    A very nice set Aaron. Nice use of DOF & BOKEH. Sometimes I wonder if
    I go over the top in doing similar depending on the subjects in frame composed. Like when I get more OOF and less subject. I feel like I missed
    impact for how I dialed it in. Yours is nice work. :D

    Great stuff Aaron- especially considering it is a lot smaller subject than you usually post. deal.gif

    Nicely done.

    Howdy Aaron,

    Beautifully done, really like all the different point of view, perspectives, and selective focus you've chosen.

    Very nicely done.
    Take care,

    nice shots! These are cereus cactus flowers too --- were they open during the day? Ours only open at night, and then an hour after dawn the flowers close and drop off later in the day.

    Love how yours have some reddish petals in the back.
