I am really enjoying being a part of this site. Everyone has been so helpful, and I am learning so much. Thank you.

Looks more like Caesalpinia to me than Bird of Paradise

. Nice photo - specially like the long red "whiskers".

Laura: I find these very difficult to shoot and you've done a great job. I especially like your DOF management and the color palette. Really well done.>=))>
