The Bloom

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I hauled my big “L” lens around all summer and never used it! So I’m promising myself to use it several times this next week. And since it is Labor Day weekend when one is supposed to relax, I took my tripod to the backyard and shot a blooming cactus!

Absolutely beautiful, Robin. I've tried to capture one and been disappointed. Perfect composition on this one.

Oh Geez Robin, this is gorgeous. Perfect exposure and tack sharp

Beautiful exposure and that white really pops against the sky. I enjoy the low perspective.

A spectacular shot--so sharp and excellent color. Love the POV.

This is absolutely beautiful Robin! Love the colors, the composition, the contrast in the leaves... well everything! Outstanding job! GMV BTW - Hauled my big 100-400 all around Boston today and never used it either... I should get it out more..

It's worth hauling Big L around to get something this good.

Guest		03-Sep-2005 22:31
Beautiful! I wondered why we never saw the big "L" a few weeks ago - I know it's a bit on the heavy side. If you want to sell it, I have a buyer!

Cindy Flood		03-Sep-2005 20:34
Very nice shot with the big L. I like your point of view.

Nicely shot, Robin. Be interesting to see what you see through that lens this week.
