greg,  that bud on left when image enlarged steals the show so to speak.  like how you have eliminated dead bottom petal by going in a bit closer.  the part i like the most is on first image you submitted with the peek a boo entry through petals into roses heart.  jude bought the new mac - i pad.  the definition or clarity on it is just simply unbelievable.  has almost made my mac 24 obsolete. think it cost her less than a $1000 n.z. have not viewed any of your images on it yet but will,  it has best clarity have ever seen on any computer regardless of size.  hope your both well and not working too hard.......roger 

Thanks, Rog-

What I'm trying to do for the next few is to show how the same thing can look so different just with different light- not even light source, just angle. Will become more evident as it goes on.

Did Jude get a regular IPad? They run around $500. here- I know there's an exchange rate, but not that much, don't think.

greg,  single most important element of just about all images is light usually either makes or breaks a image.  jude paid $890 new zealand dollars for her computer with leather cover.  learned something new not long a go.  if we here in new zealand order something from a american company, not all but quite a few, mac is one for sure.  our orders are redirected to another part of the company which sells overseas, in the case of mac it's 15 % higher to buy her mac here as it is in the states.  have a friend that i usually get to buy stuff for and post,  but have to be careful as on some things the duty negates the savings.  my very first digital camera cost $3200 new zealand dollars i had ray my friend buy and post and it only ended up costing me $1500 hundred new zealand dollars.  thats the one bummer about living down here at the bottom of the world anything imported is usually really expensive,  not all things but most.  we pay for our isolation.  when we went to states last year and found nike shoes on sale for under $30.00 could just not believe it.  have never seen a pair here for less than $150.00  most are around or above the $200.00 mark.  same with levis you pay around $30 a pair, here its over a $100.  i bought a really nice pair of leather sandals while there for $39.95,  they actually gave me another pair for buying the one.  tell you what you would never see that here.  off to look at more boats on the weekend,  will send you images if we find what were after.  boats are definitely cheaper here than there.  greetings to verena.
