[Ish]

One of the few flowers in my garden. I'm sure @Ish knows what it is.

Lol! Lovely, and you've captured the colour beautifully. Without seeing the rest, though, I couldn't tell you what kind of Campanula it is.

What on earth's happened to the 'wink'. It looks more like an evil grimace!!

Another take on yesterday's Welsh landscape. Comments always appreciated.

Great, vibrant colour and good use of shallow DOF stillcrazyman.

I'll take a wider shot. We have a small walled garden with a Pieris and some heather. It's grown up between them, so I'm not sure you'll get many clues.

Bravo on this series of street people shots. I'd not be brave enough. What was the inspiration?

So how come you get to worship at the altar of Leitz?

Hope she's feeling ok. BTW, my wife would kill me if I posted something like this!

Mine for today.

She's doing good thanks. Hopefully it'll sort out her dicky back once and for all.

Hilarious! Love it.

The one in the middle obviously, she's lying down as usual!
(If she checks my posts, I might be absent for a few days!)

aw man i am in bits laughing at this... was wondering why AFB posted rhinos after a pic of Mrs McR... then saw your post and nearly fell over!

Hilarious! Love it.

Yeah good to hear she is OK. Hope they found out it was just you... you know... the pain in her ass...

Ballsy! which funeral home do we send flowers to

I'll take my chances. She knows my sense of humour, and never logs in to MR!

Lol. The op she had on it last year didn't reveal any MacRy related tumours so I think I'm in the clear

Went back to the Swan Point Cemetery this weekend. Little wind, which made the water smoother though not as dramatic as the first pic of this scene I posted last month. Overall though I think I'm (relatively) happy with this version. On a side note, need to fix my avatar for the new forums....

I can't believe that you were all so kind about my first photo post or that I dared post among all the fine photographers here. I will try another--this time from the deep south in springtime.

Adam, it's great to see you getting engaging images of those whom are for the most part unseen.

Bravo on this series of street people shots. I'd not be brave enough. What was the inspiration?

Thanks guys. What can I say? I like taking portraits. In the studio, on the street...wherever I can.

As for inspiration, well Alexander of Oz pretty much nailed it. Nobody sees these people, or if they do, they pretend not to. I don't think that's right.

Plus shooting street photography predominately in manual mode, I've only really got one shot at getting these images and that makes it a great challenge for me. Anyone can shoot a shopfront, a car or street sign post try discretely pointing a full frame DSLR and big lens at folk and not pissing them off.

This person got pissed off...even after I threw her a buck and asked if she minded me taking her photo.

An orchid in our cities tropical conservatory. I was taken by the way the sunlight was just hitting it and leaving a nice dark surround for it.
