People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Wow... that is a perfect shot of a poinsettia, so crisp you could cut paper with it. I rarely see the stamen with focal clarity such as this, outside my own vision. The diffused light you mentioned made all the difference in allowing us to see down into the shadows. You got a good deal on it--it's very healthy-looking, no dead edges or white spots on the leaves and petals. Feliz Navidad! (a nod to its origin)

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Superbly captured, the color comes through exquisitely, the details are fantastic and the composition makes this a favorite for me.

Great photography! The clarity, focus, color control (not a easy feat), and composition are all spot on.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
