Wonderful colors, and there's a great feel to them (whatever that means ;-) ) If I have one criticism, suggestion, it's that I would definitely include the entire leaf stem in the single leaf shots, even if it means backing off a bit from the subject. I think that they'd compositionally be more complete that way. B. D. On 10/22/06 10:14 PM, "Richard S.
