    Can't Touch This

    From the back yard garden. Don't touch or you get the soft spikes all over your hands, and then you itch. They look nice, however.

    Re: Can't Touch This

    Wow.... powerful colors. I like the red on blue, and the yellow and green too. The DOF is very good. Could use a little stronger subject area, but still very powerful. I'm a little surprised no one else has commented on this yet!

    Re: Can't Touch This

    Thanks very much for the comments. This is a pretty interesting flower, and more amazing I don't know what it is (really need to figure that out!). But the different lighting changes the color from a deep maroon to this bright red when the sun is directly shining on it. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it very much.

    Re: Can't Touch This

    I've been trying to figure out what was bothering me about this and I finally figured it out. Its the stem coming in from the right of the picture which is out of focus. If it wasn't for the out of focus it would be great.

    As is I love the colours very vibrant, blue green and red with the buds standing out so well. The detail you've managed to capture of the little hairs is exquisite.

    It's the little things. I was more intent on the rest of the photo and had not really noticed so thanks for pointing that out.

    Wow, that's the story of my life...

    But enough about me, let's focus on you (pun fully intended). Your use of color is amazing, adds a lot of "oomph" to this image. Hats off to you for capturing that!

    Thanks again, very much. Just walking around the yard practicing shots and came up with this. Photography is fun.

    I agree, and that's the best way to practice. Experimenting is half the fun. The other half is seeing where it takes us.

    Hi Charm-

    You are exactly correct. Sometimes we wind up places we never expect.
    I have a brother who lives in Cameron Park, about 30 miles east of Sacramento. So I am a little familiar with your town.
