I saw the petal on the left as resembling a bird but it seems nobody else is seeing it.

Amazing detail. I love bug macros but mine never turn out anywhere near this good.

Probably my favourite of this set. I just wish there was more depth of field.

Such an imposing rooster. Kind of feel like he's telling people not to eat the meat there.

To be honest I don't know what that tree is but I'm in Africa, so a South American tree seems unlikely.

Edit: I stand corrected. There is a silk floss tree in South Africa, but most of the photos I see have worse thorns than are visible in this photo. I'll have to have a better look at that tree next time I'm at the flea market and try to figure it out.

I like both photos a lot but won't say which I prefer because viewing from my phone can give a very different impression to viewing on my computer. I guess I'll have to have a better look when my computer is switched on.

Beautiful shot with good contrast.

Contrast is something I'm finding really difficult with b&w minimal. I'm hoping that I'll figure it out by the end of the month.

I'd have mixed feelings too. I hate the thought that the art that went into creating those bonsai was ruined, but at least they were still alive.

No, I don't know him, but I'll certainly have a look at his site. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind, but I hope I don't have to.
