Thanks Ray, my good friend.
Marlyce has a weekend of photos from the beautiful Lake Tahoe . . . from a much needed girl's weekend getaway! She's VERY busy though . . . but will have time when she can find it. Packages to Afghanistan and New York for wayward children (and grandchildren) who had the nerve to "get on with their lives" . . . my parents in Arizona . . . visiting children . . . a brother needing to hear from us in Nebraska . . . and Grandkids needing to hear from us in Northern California . . . not to mention our own business and her 60 hour workweeks . . . ( * deep breath * ) - She'll get there! Her job doesn't permit her the same freedoms mine does . . . but she'll get there! She spent the week prepping my birthday gift list (yesterday) and really did well with an all Photography theme!!!!! :) (It's quite true . . . I'm seriously spoiled!)
Warmest Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Zeg aan hallo Riny!
Ik denk dat de foto mooi was. De fotografie moet mooi niet zijn om goed te zijn. Dit een, hoewel, ik denk, behaagde heel. De beslissing is natuurlijk van de joue. Ik begrijp hem ook. Ik heb dat mezelf gedaan. Ik zal aan meer foto's dit komende weekend maken. . . Ik hoop! :)
Uw heel goede vriend,

Beautifully captured with the beak inserted well up into the flower Doyle. Love the richness to the floral tones and the all round detailing is great. Perfect dof and superb bokeh. A lovely balance to this wonderful nature/wildlife study my dear friend. Tale care of you, (remind Marlyce to post a shot or two  )'see' you again soon. My very best wishes as always......Ray:)

Nice shot Doyle. At first I wondered why you didn't crop out the right side and zoom in a bit closer but looking at it again I think this composition is much better.
With the number of unopened flowers, looks like they'll be around for a while.

Whoa, he must really like those flowers, or having his picture taken... Now everything is nicely in balance!

PS. Googled "Shazam" and got "SHAZAM is a comprehensive econometrics package whose primary strength is the estimation and testing of many types of regression models." Hey, I could use that!

Thanks Sheila! I'm guessing not a lot of hummingbirds in the snow . . . so you have time to run out and replace it? Or put out a sign with my address . . . no snow and free food!! LoL! Make sure it's a LITTLE sign (their size) . . . I don't want vagrants knocking on my door! :)

LoL! You ARE a card my friend. Oh my! A drop of .18! That's it!!! I'm standing on the edge of the roof now . . . (uhhhhh . . . wait a minute! Is that a praying mantis?) - Go take a picture . . . your homework is to get a shot with bizarre backlighting! Busy busy busy!
Hehehehee . . .

Mr. Chastain? Eeeeek. That's my Dad!! LoL! Don't pay too much attention to awards and ratings . . . ratings are anonymous and represent a way people can say "Eeeeeeew!" without harming a friendship . . . and awards only tell you ONE person thought this shot was good . . . Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier Bresson were NOT judges . . . they were photographers!!! And they even had the same problem you and I have . . . pleasing themselves!! Now THAT'S a challenge! ;)

Hmmmm ... just want you to know Doyle that I never would have said you had a 7.00 rating if I hadn't seen it here .
I don't know why I am back here now ... just kind of buzzing around but it's changed a bit of -.18 points since I was last here ...

Excellent capture ! I don't think I've ever seen a 7.00 rating before either ...even all the awards aren't for a 7.00 !!
Celebrate ! You give so much it comes back to You . I am sooo happy to see this for you Mr. Chastain !!!!!

Uhhhhh . . . is it me or are you seeming to spend more time worrying about frames recently? ;)
No prob, my friend. Actually . . . any comments at all, even about the presentation are both valuable and welcome. This frame was inspired by Joggie and his great portfolio. The previous was liked by AJ but not by you . . . you know . . . pleasing some of the people . . . some of the time . . . blah, blah, blah. As long as people look at and comment . . . or, more importantly, as long as I enjoy photography . . . you will ALL continue to be subjected to my work! BWA HAHAHAHAA! :)
