Lovely conversion and manipulation of the flowers.

Well thanks Todd, I'm flattered. I rather like your finished hibi product (gotta be one of the world's best blooms). I understand the combining of images but I'm lost as to how you get the "kaleidiscope" effect - is this software filter or some physical smoke and mirrors thingy?

Oh what wonderful colors in here. Surprised you spotted and then captured the ( little?) fella!

Nice framing and bright colors, though! ... I don't think the A lens tells you what focal length you're at, does it?? Nice job processing. I think you made it good.

Nice bright colors and composition.

Nicely done for a quick opportunity - interesting to see the sense of scale of the bird.

I do like this, I remember seeing the same flower on hawaii when I was there some 5 years ago.

The blue makes this even better. Also like the criss-cross of the cactus.

Wow nice. I love the more "environmental" wildlife shots.

The luscious looking leaves are just great as are the little bokeh balls of light coming through the foliage.
