Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Such beauty to be found in the desert. You have captured this beauty so well and did it with a wonderful dof that provides the notion that there are other pretty blooms nearby as well.

I love the desert in bloom. I have lived there, so I know of what I speak.

Great shot.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
