[Leica] Afternoon Flowers

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Luis,

Thank you for looking and for the kind comments. And I agree with you  
on the #1 shot. Actually I increased the DOF on that one on purpose  
to get as much detail as possible. I accomplished that but it took  
away any artistic qualities it might have had. I also had the camera  
set for ISO 200 where in the earlier photo I was using Velvia 50 and  
had to open up more.

Best Regards,
Len
