Nice colors and details in the water.

Our beaches can be posted, too, but it doesn't stop anyone, especially if there are good waves for surfing.

lovely blooms, colourful rendition - dof on wide background is interesting.

This is a beautiful picture. Children make the absolute best expressions. They have no idea of restraint yet, so you get the truth about how they feel. Remember when we had this much happy abandon?

Great shot.

Very nice point-of-view. There are lots of lilies blooming around here, too - I just haven't got around to taking pics of them yet. I love the ultra-bokeh background.

Incredible butterfly! The soft focus of the flowers is really nice, and your dof great. I really like this one!

thats pretty funny coz i just finished writing on your day 19 and said about taking off the lens cap etc etc etc & missing your shot because of all that stuffing around .. and now i come to your day 20 and read about your camera setting woes ...
but OMG .. its like wotever !!! ... this is THE most gorgeous photograph, and it doesnt appear to have suffered at all with the iso800 .. that totally beautiful blur you've got with your bokeh .. amazing .. so soft, so lovely, those fantastic pastel colours ... everything about this is just beautiful .. a perfect image .. "decent" is right !!!!.. altho an understatement !! :) ..

i can so identify with the 'problems' you had today ... it happens so much that you see something you want to photograph but its a case of .. sheeeeeeesh .. i've gotta remove the lens cap, check the iso, make sure the settings are ok with exposure etc .. by which time wotever you wanted to photograph is gone !!! ... i usually shoot totally manual, but sometimes aperture priority would'v been better for speed .. oh well, live and learn eh? ..
this scene that you've photographed looks so much like where i live altho a lot more rainforesty .. if we had HEAPS more rain the firetrail i walk on could look like this in parts ... those trees look absolutely beautiful with their dark dark trunks and the vibrant greens .. you must get so many fantastic photographs along this track .. and if its anything like the firetrail i walk on, it would be different every single day ... a bit like different moods ... i love smart sharpen too .. i dont use USM at all now .. :)

i love the distortion in this image .. the slightly muted colours, except for the glow of the lights, work really well .. the sky with its silvery glow and those beautiful understated clouds is gorgeous .. a fantastic photograph ... :)
