Yes, Jan and I have been out shooting together again. Here's my version of Jan's lily shot - thanks for spotting these Jan, I'd never have seen them if you'd not been there.

Hey Nigel...you haven't changed your avie lately. How about the picture that Jan posted of you last week? You know, the one where you looked a bit greenish. Wouldn't that be cool as a new avie? He he. I didn't know lily pads came in so many colors. I have learned something new. Really a nice shot.

It looks like the original Pac Man video game. How many will be left when the smoke clears? Great shot Sir Shrek and perfect editing.

These lily pads really stand out against the dark water. The lighting is great and so is the composition. Great work!

Hello Nigel!
Long time no see! :-)
I have found my hom at www.fotosidan.se under the nick "VeraVardig".

This photo is a bit burnt in the lily-edges. It is a wonderful macro and I do envy you your talent!

Gorgeous colours and shapes, Nigel. The composition of the image is faultless as is the wonderful focus. A wonderful image and a great desktop.

Very striking with those sensational colors, each one a bit different and again you have seven objects for the composition and all against a black background. Quite a nice image for framing.

This is just gorgeous Nigel!! Would you let me do a canvas painting of these? Maybe in an abstract sort of way? I love the colours, and it would be fun to try it. But you know what, they always remind me of PacMan!! this is a fun and colourful creation of yurs(and Jans)...nice job..Verena
