John:
I FINALLY managed to get into these sites. I see why the provider is called
xoom.com. It would be absolutely ridiculous to name it zoom.com. I suspect
the "x"oom refers to the absence of "z"oom. Ranting aside...nice work. I
appreciate your photographic eye and composition. The flower shot really
grabbed me. I am particularly fond of macro floral shots. Did you remove part
of the background digitally? I have used with some success artist's canvas
boards, about 24" X 30," with randomly paint-sprayed patterns for floral
backgrounds. Using depth of field to create an unfocused background one can
provide a realistic looking background while isolating the subject and
providing a modicum of wind control.
