Hi James,
Wonderful macro, very sharp at the stamens and wonderful color!! #157174

Stacey, thanks so much for the compliments. Coming from someone of your caliber means high praise! Your gallery is grand, and I was especially drawn to the floral shots, and just as much to the horses. I have never had the opportunity to photograph (much less live with them!). You've made some great captures. Thanks again! Keep shooting. Jay

Stunning image, especially the black "slippers" and love the capture of the crossover of stamens 2 and 3 from the left! Gorgeous colors and very well done, James!
Aloha,

Stan, thanks for the compliments and analysis of my photo! You know, I hadn't noticed the stamen "slippers," but seeing them, I can see that the crossover pair must be dancing. Cool! Thanks again (and great gallery)! Jay #705120

Lisa, thank you so much! The pic did turn out well. I looked through your gallery, too, and I love it! I really liked the clematis (sp?). I did not recognize it with the curly edges. Great shot. Loved the shots of your children, too, especially the christmas light ones. Your son may not appreciate your photographing him now, but someday he will love you for it! Keep shooting! Jay
