Very nice shot. Excellent use of a shallow DOF, The focus on the shot is just about perfect.

I have not posted here for a very long, but I sure know of your images. In fact I've never commented on any. I just can't seem to find the right words, there all so "pristine", yeah, I guess thats a word.

So, for you to stop and enjoy mine, and then verify that I delivered the way I saw it, is high praise indeed!! If I ever get to meet you, drinks on me

Erik, Strictly speaking I don't think they are "Flowers". The purple ones are "Ice Plants" the city plants them all over the place around here, especially along the Freeways. I heard once that because there kinda like cactus (no thorns) retain water there here for fire retartent and soil erosion. Our two biggest worries, Fires, Earthquakes!! rofl

It's weird how living in Sunny Calif. I at least really enjoy seeing all those cold snowy images. Makes me remember how neat and clean everything looks and how the snow feels in your hands dry/wet/crunchy all at the same time. And Yes I also remember how old, cold and down right dangerous it can get and quick too. :uhoh

Now about your Avatar, is that a D2X or one of those D2MK11 (something like that) your looking for, would not want to offend either camp :hide (May join myself soon!!). :lol4:lol4

Thanks for enjoying my shot.

Love those colours. I'm looking forward to Spring now, although it seems a long way off at the moment.
Excellent photograph.
