    hey
    hey, im from Western North Carolina too! (I go to Brevard College in Brevard, NC). You've got some good shots there. Your macros of the flowers are well balanced - real sharp foreground and blurred background...excellent. The last two shots are the only ones I dont care for...the second-to-last just seems too chaotic with the rhododendron (perhaps crop the top off a bit?) and the last shot could use a little contrast and brightness adjustment.

    We are both so blessed to live in such a beautiful place - keep shootin. :):

    Thanks for the comments, the last one was taken during bright light, I had a polarizing filter on and stopped the lens down all the way and it still turned out bright.

    Hey there - I really like this series! Nice slow shutter water. Great comp on the flower with the leaves inviting you into the photo. The last is over exposed if you ask me.

    Thanks for all teh comments guys. As for the last one it is over cooked alittle, still playing around with it in CS. I had the lens stopped down to f/22 and it was still over doing it. Part of it came from having a 10 second shot because the streams of water were really small so I had to make the shutter stay open longer.
