Left work early and headed over to the Botanical Garden after a short but
hard rain:

These shots seem to hurt my eyes, Bill.
The second and last ones are super for me.
No wander I saw Micro Nikkor 105/4 at the end.

Wow Bill.
Good by walmart, right?

I've bought 3 rolls of 160vc solely because of your pictures these past few months. Superb! I hope I can achieve just a fraction of the quality of these photos.

Koji, thanks, you picked my two favorites of the bunch, too. Wink

Ron, Walmart still has my business for slide, 35mm and medium format.
And if I'm not in a hurry they have the BW and color negative biz, too. But
all my 35mm color neg stuff is going to CVS, fer sure! Smile

Marc, looking forward to your Portra shots!

Thanks again, guys, for your comments.

I agree about the favorites, but I love the statue of the woman in the pond, her hat looks almost real

Thanks for your comments, guys!

Patrick, the hat does look almost real on the statue, doesn't it.

[Patrick, I thought you were being facetious, hope you weren't offended.]

I missed that thread. All very well done from composition, a lot of clarity in the phptographs again.

Cheers
