Beautiful lighting and color. I really like the shadow play on the leaves.

This is beautiful, Gary. Lots of depth and some mystery. More power to you for sticking with your experiments with scanning. I like this one the best!

This is my favorite to date Gary. Just superb in every respect. The composition is particularly impressive to me. Wonderful balance in the arrangement and the shadow and lights. Comparable to Feinstein's best work IMHO. Exceptional image.

Gary: I would not have thought that Bougainvillea would lend itself to scanning but you've certainly proved me wrong. This is a wonderful image. May 2011 bring you great subjects and marvelous light. >=))>
