BEAUTIFUL SHOT!!!!! #83001Carol Brill December 28, 2003
John, I love the colors that you captured here so clearly, nice composition and DOF, too! #310221John Connolly December 29, 2003
Many thanks Joyce and Carol, for your comments. It was a difficult photo to do justice to, the terrain was rugged and I was trying to give the impression of a mass of flowering native plants, yet still maintain detail in the main subject. #311081Jean Papo January 15, 2004
Congratulations, John, on your finalist! Good to know something good has sprung forth from those awful fires... #333542Carol Brill January 15, 2004
John, congratulations and best of luck to you! #333678John Connolly January 21, 2004
Thank you for your comments, Jean and Carol. I will try and send you an image of what that beautiful flower loos like in seed at the end of the season. #342627Susie Peek-Swint May 09, 2005
Beautiful flowers John ~ it's amazing how nature can manage to pull something beautiful from devastation, isn't it?John Connolly May 09, 2005
Thank you for commenting Susan. Last summer there wasn't a single bloom in this area, nature is waiting for the next fire to start the process of regeneration all over again. #1334760Dave Ombrello January 13, 2009
Love the color and detail of this image John, but especially the way you have repeated the color to give the image depth. Your hiding these excellent images way in the back is yielding great returns for me. #7026478John Connolly January 14, 2009
Thanks a lot Dave, this one certainly goes back a few years! #7030447Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
