A couple more from the weekend

[Steve S]

Heavy crop on this one, but i liked the way he was standing on the limb.





How many critters do you see in this one?

[Mike Buckley]

The butterfly is especially nice in my mind.

[Brownbear]

Lovely, especially the butterfly but I also like the lines in the photo of the trees.

[Bobobird]

Lovely shots. Me 2 with the butterfly. What a beautiful specimen.

[Nancy Moran G]

WOW! That butterfly and flower is outrageous!

I agree with Nancy Wow!!

[Cantab]

A wonderful set!

The first one is superb. Despite the heavy crop in the second one, it still looks sharp (at least on my iPad screen).

So, how many critters are there in the last image. I see a rabbit and a deer.

[Mike Buckley]

I keep reviewing the last one over and over thinking in black-and-white. I hope I can convince you to convert it to bring out the sometimes rich, sometimes subtle tones that exist in all those glorious shades of green.

2 Deer, a northern bluebird in the tree on the left, a squirrel on the tree on the right, and where is the rabbit? Every time I look at it, I see more critters.

OK mike, i'll give it a try.

Steve's style = Peace conveying images = I like them (a lot)!

[Steve S]

Nancy, james, christina, mike,bobo.......................Thanks.

Very shallow depth of field, but I guess it worked out ok.

I focused on the butterfly, and because the flower was like a ball, only the center was in focus. Wasn't too shure about the composition, at first, but since everyone liked it, I guess it's OK.

Thank you , otavio. Nature is peaceful, glad to hear I could capture the peacefulness, in an image. (one of the reasons i like the outdoors so much)

Whoops! Upon closer inspection, my rabbit turns out to be the second deer (lying on the grass).
