[Markw]

This is probably the last part, this one being a series of flowers already in bloom or in the process of it.

They look lovely! i think some of them look too soft IMO but other than than great work.

Thank you. I think alot of that has to do with compression from photobucket. They look fine here: www.jpgmag.com/people/markwjr

If you're talking about the OOF part, some of them were taken at F/5.6 or so. At 1:1, that's a fairly shallow DOF. That's what I was going for on some of these, though.

Thank you kindly!

I like all these with the exception of 3. Just too much oof in that for me.

If I had to pick one out of all, it would be the last.
