Such lovely detail, colours and contrast. I would have cropped out the right side, and made it a "portrait" format, to allow for more detail in the allowed size.

So lovely. Colours gorgeous - agree with pulling down the hilights a smidge. Love the shadows, they look like a second row of leaves!

PAW - Very nice shot. I don't think that's a shadow below but the other half of the branch. Beautiful background bokeh. Is it really shot at f13? I guess you're really close. Quail Gardens is a great place for plant pictures. I went there one time on a "free Tuesday" before heading down to Balboa Park for "free museum Tuesday". Nice cheap shooting day other than the accident I got in when I hit traffic on the 805.

PAW - Excellent, sharp bee and cactus flower and beautiful bokeh in the background. Nicely composed. Yes, the flower does look pretty orange in my notebook monitor also. You live 2 minutes from Balboa Park? Good location, definitely with enough material for a year of Urban Nature PAWs. I go there a lot and was there Saturday evening with about 120 of my closest photographer friends in the San Diego Photography Meetup. We should get together some time and shoot. It would let me meet one of my 2009 goals to meet some DPCers.

This is great! I love the seagull in the background, spying on the proceedings. Excellent capture. :)

I really like the shallow DOF on this one. The bokeh-ed (is that a word? hehe) background looks like a painting.

I am usually NOT a fan of macro bug shots, but this is beyond awesome.

Hi Ann, As to your monitor question, this does look very bright on mine but no, I wouldn't describe it as overprocessed or psychedelic. Then again, your new monitor probably is a lot better than my old Dell!
