About A slope off the Pacific ocean at Hemosa Beach has a variety of floral life . . . from dead, to new, to buds, to mature flowers. I found the blend to be a symbolic reflection of all life. Dedicated to all those suffering from the recent earthquake in South America . . . and my photographer friends who are there.

A great symbolism Doyle and super dedication... The crazy weather around this world is frightening EVERYWHERE !!!!! It worries me with all the floods, earthquakes, and huricannes......but I worry and wish the very best to all ....and your dedication and floral image shows how fragil life really is ....
A lovely image !!
Kind Regards,
Michele~

¡Da las gracias muy mucha Gust@vo! Estuve en muchos terremotos aquí en California. El 1989 temblor de San Fransisco y el 1994 temblor de Northridge fueron el peor. Yo me siento mal para el trabajo y la pérdida a nuestros vecinos en Perú durante este temblor reciente. Esta flor es una dedicación silenciosa a ellos.

Thanks Michele . . . and the end of everything is also the beginning of something else. With bizarre weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and floods . . . you have to wonder how long before the religious fanatics . . . uhhhh . . . Ooooops. ( Ahem ) Never mind! ;)

I did actually post a comment on this one yesterday, but it got intercepted by the Thought Police. I wonder what naughty words I could possibly have used...

Another good example of how to make the most of DOF. Only thing I can really suggest would be cropping a little higher up so that there is a bit more space between the top of the closed bloom and the top border as it seems currently pressed up againt the top of the shot. Pretty minor thing really.


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99061} 8/23/2007
Not a problem John . . . my imagination would likely be more entertaining to myself than the reality . . . uh oh . . . sounds like I may have some cerebral 'issues', eh? What a shocker! :P

Thanks Chad . . . great point on the top crop . . . :)

Intrigued to see my original posting has STILL not showed up. I must have said something REALLY bad!

And it's such a nice, peaceful image...

B&%@#r!

John:

I have found that when the auto-f*scist cens*r prevents my comment from being posted it virtually NEVER appears. ...and you know how I never f-in swear . . . so . . . you clearly wrote some incredibly intense and likely violent profanity to describe the extremes of my self-acknowledged genius-nocity!

I once tried to post a clearly in-offensive comment to Robin Wickencamp and had to do it over and over and over before it took . . . only to discover she received e-mails of each attempted comment. Possibly Rina too. We sensitive, artistic types simply cannot allow YOUR types to go around speaking freely . . . it sets dangerous precedents. LoL!

Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99061} 8/27/2007
See? Speak of the devil . . . I had to add two * to get that to post and change the ' to a - after the f. Now, I consider myself scolded!

Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Nacho!
