Some Summer Flowers

[mmeyer]

Hey All, I haven't put anything up for a while so I thought I better. Here's some flowers from a garden in St. Cloud that I visited on Saturday.

Mike, that coneflower image in particular is top notch. The OOF flowers in the BG wonderfully echo the in-focus pair of flowers in the foreground

#2 is a wonderful image, nicely done. Munsinger Clemens gardens?

[MARINERMAGNUM]

#2 is just awesome.

For some reason i can't picture the guy in the avatar at a flower garden!

[Steve Foss]

Yeah, the avatar guy looks like circulars I've seen in the post office.

Great stuff Mike. I really like the compositions on the first 2 and I like how you kept good detail in the bright whites and yellows in the last 2. Good to see your work again.

Beauties Mike!

Thanks Everyone. It's been a busy summer so I haven't gotten out nearly as often as I would have liked to. It's nice to have something to add to the forum again.

Dan, you are correct, I was at the Clemens/Munsinger Gardens. I put on my best smiley face and they reluctantly let me in. If I had given the glare like my avatar I don't think I would've gotten in the gate.

Thanks again

Nicely done - crisp and clear and very nice lighting!
