Nice shots and thanks for sharing them. I really like the 3rd photo. I am trying to play with DOF shots but I guess I need more time.

Looking really sweet! Love that 3rd one!

Wonderful
Arizona in spring with a banner wildflower bloom. It is a marvelous time and place. I think all 3 images are fantastic.

Thanks all,

I'm glad I got a few good ones out of the batch!

Really nice shots. That last one is gorgeous! I would only say it could be better the OOF flower in the foreground was gone. Well done!

WOW that 3rd one is just fantastic- agree about the foreground OOF flower though. Looks like I need to head back out and do some more shooting.

I agree...that flower is in the way...no matter where I stood it seemed to be there, I guess I could have pulled it but since I just had an encounter with a rattlesnake I thought I ought not to stick my hand near the bushes, cactus and flowers!

Thanks much!
